V24.10 - UEFN and Fortnite Creative Updates

V24.10 UEFN AND FORTNITE CREATIVE UPDATES
Here's the breakdown of whats new with UEFN and Fortnite Creative for V24.10!
FORTNITE CREATIVE V24.10

NEW CHANNEL DEVICE
If you check your devices, you will see that a new channel device has been added! It functions as a relay device - having only one event and one function. It is some-what similar to a trigger device, with the exception of being able to connect multiple devices to one channel device. Hmm, sounds kind of line a router!
In the Channel Device Documentation it lists a few ways you can use this device, which is
• Simplify connections between one group of many devices and another group of many devices.
• Swap devices connected to the Channel device in and out to test different game mechanics for your island, or test multiple player actions.
• Replicate the previous channel system even if your island is converted to direct event binding.

NITRO DRIFTERS ADDED
The Nitro Dirfter is ready to use! Since this vehicle seats four its a great way to encourage a new way of engagement for racing games! Plus Nitro has an ability to drift! A few things to keep in mind:
"Some devices have a limit on how many times that device can be placed on an island. This is independent of how much memory the device uses. If you have not converted your island to use upgraded devices, you can only have 32 active vehicles spawned at one time (across all vehicle spawners). If you have converted your island, there is no limit."
