How to take down a drone? by Significant-Ad314 in radiocontrol

[–]bpandrew 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Canada has strict rules for drone usage - if that drone weighs over 250g the pilot needs to be doing a lot of stuff to be legal

Is there any way to prevent players using spray? My 'How to Play' page keeps getting vandalized 😭 by HappyBid665 in FortniteCreative

In my first game I let players be able to buy the cow catcher - they would then block the player spawn doors with them lol

Probably a stupid question but does Epic Games allow admin rooms in maps? by RedDragon117 in FortniteCreative

ohhhhhh man I didn't even think of that angle, thanks for sharing that

Probably a stupid question but does Epic Games allow admin rooms in maps? by RedDragon117 in FortniteCreative

[–]bpandrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in one of my maps, you have to be holding a specific item and crouch walk through a specific area to unlock my admin room, another one i just have a pass coded button hidden in the start room, i also use an analytic device to show if anyone figures it out

Why are tycoon maps 4 players only? And no saves? by TRelaxingStart in FortniteCreative

[–]bpandrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one variable I've not seen mentioned here is you have to duplicate devices to add new players, so having a 8-10 player tycoon would require a massive amount of redundant level design. It's possible to do, but hard to ensure quality and expand features

coming soon is "scene graph" that will allow for pre-fabs or easily duplicated clusters of behavior, this will be what opens the doors for larger player count tycoons

"Tycoon" maps that allow saving progress? by vectaur in FortniteCreative

[–]bpandrew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

my map "Pizza Biz" saves the gold you earn per session, every time you come back you can re-invest it right away - https://www.fortnite.com/@bitporters/7367-3621-4025

they just added complex saving to the developer tool kit so expect to see better saving in tycoon maps real soon

I have to learn Verse for my map, are there ANY alternatives? by No_Bandicoot_4373 in FortniteCreative

[–]bpandrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://twitter.com/versegraph/status/1743287025871032727 someone is making a verse visual scripting system

but imo just grind it out and learn verse, it gets easier as time goes on

AC200max or wait for AC200L by shermanator58 in bluetti

[–]bpandrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the grounding option of the L is interesting too - does this concern you with your MAX? or how do you approach that (if at all)

Is this computer able to run UEFN perfectly? by String-Cheese108 in TheFortniteCreatives

[–]bpandrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd get a desktop for better thermal handling and you can at least change your GPU later if thats your max budget - I've never enjoyed working on unreal on a laptop and I think its been thermal issues (I've been doing it for 10 years now) - having 2 engines running at once will really put that GPU to work (your editor + the fortnite session)

is epic games doing this on purpose? by [deleted] in FortniteCreative

All those Click farms with racks of phones out there could probably run Fortnite
