Verse Start 02 Timer System in Fortnite

In this step, you will create a timer system in Verse that uses the Timer and End Game devices. The timer will start when the player hits any target, and the game will end and display the scoreboard when it runs out.

While you can end your game on a timer with Island Settings or with devices alone, using Verse increases your control over the game mechanics you use.

Modify Your Island

1. Select the Island Settings device in the viewport or Outliner panel.

2. In the Details panel, set the following parameters:

   1. Uncheck Stat to End. This removes the original scoring end condition, which you will replace with the timer.
   2. Set Game Score Display Time to 10 seconds.
   3. Enable First Scoreboard Column, then set to Score.

3. Use the Content Browser to find the Timer Device, then drag it into the viewport.

4. In the Details panel, set Visible During Game to Hidden. This hides the timer object during the game, but the time still displays on the player's HUD while it is active.

5. Use the Content Browser to find the End Game Device, then drag it into the viewport.
