(Tutorial) How to Make a Bedwars Map in Fortnite Creative!

Introduction

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a Bedwars map in Fortnite Creative. We will cover essential components such as building player islands, setting up beds, creating item spawners, and implementing a shop system. By following these steps, you'll create an engaging and functional map for players to enjoy.

Chapter 1: Planning and Dimensions

1. Start a New Island

   • Go to your island podium and create a new island.
   • Choose either the "Grid Island" or the "Kevin Floating Island." This tutorial uses the "Kevin Floating Island."
   • Confirm your selection.

2. Mark the Center

   • Press your map key and ping the center without moving your cursor.
   • Place a hover platform device at the marked location.

3. Delete Other Islands

   • Delete all other islands until only the central island remains.
   • If your map cursor moved, leave creative mode and re-enter to ensure the hover platform is centered.

4. Build the Middle Area

   • Create a symmetrical middle area larger than a small showcase.
   • Use wood or your preferred building material.

5. Create Player Islands

   • Bridge out in one direction to form the first island.
   • Use the multi-select feature to replicate the island on all four sides.

6. Setup Elimination Zone

   • Grab another hover platform and place it approximately five blocks above the bottom of the map.
   • Create a floor and add a damage device to eliminate players who fall off.

Chapter 2: Player Islands and Beds

1. Design Player Islands

   • Create a 5x5 area around each bed for defensive space.
   • Build a 3x3 area for the bed itself.

2. Add Beds and Spawn Pads

   • Use the objective device gallery to choose a bed. Manually rotate it for proper alignment.
   • Place the bed at the center of each player island, and add a spawn pad next to it.

3. Set Bed and Spawn Pad Settings

   • For the bed:
     • Set health to your preference (500 or 2000).
     • Set owning team to 1 (increment for multiple teams).
     • Configure other settings like notifications and transmission channels.
   • For the spawn pad:
     • Set team and disable receiving from the bed’s transmission channel.

4. Copy Settings for Additional Islands

   • Multi-select both the bed and spawn pad to replicate for each player's island.
   • Increment settings for teams accordingly.

Chapter 3: Forge and Item Spawners

1. Add Item Spawners

   • Place down an item spawner for the main material (wood or gold).
   • Set the following settings:
     • Visible during games: Off
     • Time before first spawn: Instant
     • Time between spawns: Your choice (e.g., 10 seconds)
     • Continuously spawn items: On or Off based on preference.

2. Setup for Second Material

   • Repeat the process for a secondary material spawner (e.g., stone).
   • Adjust settings as necessary for gameplay balance.

Chapter 4: Shop System

1. Add Vending Machines

   • Place a vending machine from the devices tab.
   • Set the first item type corresponding to the resources available on player islands.

2. Configure Vending Machines

   • Limit to one item per vending machine to avoid cycling issues.
   • Clear items before adding new ones.
   • Keep a manageable number of vending machines to prevent lag.

3. Create Teleporters for Shops

   • Use teleporters to link players from their base to the shop area.
   • Set teleport group settings corresponding to each team.

4. Design the Shop Area

   • Build a designated shop area beneath the mid-island.
   • Place the teleporters and relevant signage (e.g., “Go Home”).

Chapter 5: Player Respawn System

1. Configure Player Spawn Pads

   • Place spawn pads above the shop area.
   • Set settings to ensure players can only respawn if their bed is intact.

2. Add Damage Volumes

   • Set up damage volumes to eliminate players when their bed is destroyed.
   • Ensure proper encapsulation of the respawn area to prevent escapes.

Chapter 6: Extras - Progressive Item Spawners

1. Setup Upgradable Spawners

   • Create additional item spawners that upgrade over time.
   • Link them to timers for synchronized upgrades.

2. Design HUD Messages

   • Use HUD message devices to inform players of upgrades and bed destruction events.
   • Set messages to display based on specific channels triggered by game events.

3. Adjust Island Settings

   • Modify game settings such as player limits, team sizes, and respawn times.
   • Ensure balance and playability by testing various configurations.
