How to Continue to Respawn on Fortnite

This is a device that creators can use to create a spawn point for various Items, and to assign specific items to each spawn location.

The Item Spawner is one of several devices in Creative that spawns items—in this case, spawning them just above the location of the device.

Finding and Placing the Device

Device Options

This device has some basic functionality, like how much time passes between item spawns, and which classes can pick up spawned items. Additionally, there are some advanced options, such as setting a resource cost for spawned items.

The default state of the Item Spawner when it is first placed is Inactive.

You can configure this device with the following options.

Default values are bold.

Basic Options

Time Before First Spawn	Never, Instant, 10 seconds, Pick an amount of time	After the game starts, this is how much time must pass before the device spawns an item.

All Options (Additional)

Random Spawns	Off, Random, No Repeats	This option controls randomized spawning. If you choose No Repeats, the device randomly spawns every item in the device once before repeating an item.

Continuously Spawn Items	On, Off	Determines whether the device continues spawning items even if the previous items have not been picked up. Use with caution, as this can result in large numbers of items spawning in a single location if combined with other options such as Items Respawn, or Time Between Spawns. The last item spawned is tracked by the device, but the rest are left in the world and are not cleaned up if the device is disabled, or if Cycle to Next Item is called.

Affects Class	All But Selected, Only Selected	If you choose All But Selected, anyone can pick up spawned items except players assigned the class selected in Allowed Class. If you choose Only Selected, only players assigned the class selected in Allowed Class can pick up spawned items.

Channels

When one device needs to "talk" to another device, it does so by transmitting a signal on a specific channel. The receiving device needs to be set up to receive the signal on the same channel.

A channel is identified by a number, and channel numbers are customized for a device under the option that uses the channel. Most devices will also pass the identity of the player who triggered the device with the signal.

This device has receivers that perform a variety of functions when receiving a signal over a channel. Also, this device can transmit signals when certain conditions are met.

Receivers

Receivers listen for a channel and perform an action when they hear any device (including themselves) send a signal on that channel.

Option	Value	Description
Enable When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel or enter a channel number	Enables the device when it receives a signal from the selected channel.
Disable When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel or enter a channel number	Disables the device when it receives a signal from the selected channel.
Cycle to Next Item When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel or enter a channel number	When this device receives a signal from the selected channel, it switches to the next item in the device.
Spawn Item When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel or enter a channel number	When this device receives a signal from the selected channel, the device spawns an item.

Transmitters

Transmitters send a signal on the selected channel when triggered.

Option	Value	Description
When Item Picked Up Transmit On	No Channel, Pick a channel or enter a channel number	When a player picks up a spawned item, the device sends a signal on the selected channel.

Design Examples

Continuous Item Spawning

Because Item Spawners have channels, they can be used in lots of different ways, from spawning items via a channel to being available for only a specific team or class.

To have items spawn nonstop when a channel is activated, we can combine an Item Spawner device with a Switch device.

1. We set the device with the following settings.
   

   • Random Spawns: Random

   • Base Visible During Game: Off

   • Time Before First Spawn: 1 Second

   • Time Between Spawns: Instant

   • Enabled At Game Start: No

   • Continuously Spawn Items: On

   • Enable When Receiving From: Channel 5

   • Disable When Receiving From: Channel 6

2. Make sure the Switch device has compatible channel settings as the Item Spawner device so the Item Spawner is enabled or disabled by the Switch device.

For a cool effect, we can place the Item Spawner device floating in the air and rotated upside down. When the items spawn, they will drop to the ground as shown in the video example.

Designer's Tip

Adjust the Time Between Spawns option from Instant to a spawn frequency that best fits your game mode.
