Introducing the NPC Spawner Device for UEFN
The Fortnite Team
Creators,
Fortnite v28.10 brings the NPC Spawner device, a new device for spawning customizable NPCs in UEFN, as well as access to a variety of new Fortnite NPCs (“Characters”) you can use to create your own distinct content.
Non-player characters (NPCs) are the unsung heroes of video games. A diverse and original cast of allies, bad guys, bosses, and creatures brings depth to your game and helps immerse players in your virtual worlds. With the new NPC Spawner device released in v28.10, you can create a lineup of complex, memorable characters that will help enrich the depth and variety of games built with UEFN.
Available now in Early Access, the NPC Spawner device gives you the power to control the appearance, animation, behavior, and modifiers of your AI characters. Customize everything from the way the character looks and moves to the team they’re on and the items they carry.
Note that the NPC Spawner device doesn’t replace existing devices such as the Guard Spawner, Wildlife Spawner, or Character device. Rather, it provides more control to define how AI-driven characters look and interact within your island. Bring your world to life with hostile wildlife, PvE gameplay, epic boss battles, and a multitude of compelling characters!
v28.10 also brings a number of fresh Fortnite Characters for you to use in your islands. These new Characters are available from devices that can spawn Fortnite cosmetics, providing a significant expansion to the Outfit options currently available. Devices that can spawn the additional Fortnite Outfits are the Character device, Character Controller device, Guard Spawner device, Dance Mannequin device, and the new NPC Spawner device.
The NPC Spawner device in v28.10 is available in Early Access. Early Access means we’re giving you an opportunity to try out a feature that’s still under development.
By releasing a device as Early Access, our aim is to put exciting new features into your hands as soon as the device’s core functionality can be used effectively. We’ll take any feedback you provide to improve the device for final release.
Since Early Access features are subject to change, you may have to adjust the device’s implementation in your island as we make incremental updates towards the final version being released. These updates include bug fixes and responses to your feedback.
Be sure to complete thorough testing when publishing islands containing Early Access devices, as we can’t guarantee that all systems — for example, some weapons or other devices — will be fully compatible with them all.
