v35.00 Is Here (And its 🔥)

V35.00 is a huge update, and we have a lot to go through!

PHYSICS!

After years of teasers, we now have a beta physics system inside of fortnite.

Key note: Physics are an opt in feature, and islands cannot be currently published with physics enabled.

Setting "Physics" to TRUE in project settings will enable:

• A special player spawner device, to spawn a physics based character
• Special props with "Fort Physics" properties (All fortnite props are available to be physics props)
• Enables physics settings with some devices

Physical objects can be interacted by players, for example.

• Jumping in them
• Hitting them with a pickaxe
• Using "hitscan" weapons on them

Devices can even interact with physics too! in UEFN, these devices are found inside the IExperimental Folder

Some noticeable devices are:

• Prop mover (Animated objects can react with physics)
• Sequencer (Animated objects with the sequencer wont interact with physics objects)

Verse API:

2 new endpoints were added for the volume device PropEnterEvent and PropExitEvent

Movement:

Physics players will for now only have limited movement capability

Weapons and items

• All weapons can be used by physics characters, but only hitscan weapons affect physics props
• All items can be used, but epic warn that some may not function as intended.

⚠️ There is a known issue where changing physics settings on a prop component requires pushing changes. This will be addressed in a future release.
