Pillars Battle Game Template is a ready-to-use UEFN pillars battle game. Players start on their own pillar, get a random item every few seconds, and fight until one is left standing. The whole game loop is built in Verse and set up in a demo level, so you can open it, press Launch Session and play. Then reskin it, rebalance it or build your own map on it.

Features

• Spawn on pillars: every player starts on their own pillar. Late spawns go to a pillar no living player is standing on.

• Random items on a timer: everyone still alive gets a random item from an Item Granter every few seconds. Choose whether everyone gets the same item or each player gets their own.

• Next-item UI: a countdown widget with a gift animation each time items are handed out.

• Waiting for players: if a match starts with fewer than the minimum number of players, a waiting screen shows. The match restarts automatically once enough players have joined.

• Last one standing wins: eliminated players spectate until the round ends, and the last survivor gets the victory screen.

• Mid-match joiners spectate until the next round instead of joining a match already in progress.

• Round transition screen when the match starts.

• Works with UEFN test players, so you can test a full match on your own.

What's included

5 commented Verse files:

Customization

All settings are editable in the Details panel:

• Minimum players.

• Time between items.

• Same item for everyone, or a different item per player.

• Item pool (set on the Item Granter).

• How high above the pillar players spawn, and the distance at which a pillar counts as taken.

• Transition screen time.

• Optional debug logging.

To add pillars, place more Player Spawners with the pillar spawner tag. The Verse finds them automatically.
