In Part 10.1 of my Unreal Engine 5.1 Endless Runner series, I add a Magnet Power Up and make the player collect it properly. I start by importing the magnet model, then I quickly fix the materials so it actually looks good in-game—metallic to 1, roughness around 0.3, and I slightly reduce the base color value (but I don’t make it too dark). After that, I create the collectible by duplicating my BP_Coin, swapping the mesh to the magnet, adjusting scale/rotation, and keeping the pickup sound logic (I use a different sound so it feels separate from coins). Then I wire up the gameplay: I add an “Is Magnet Active” boolean in BP_RunnerCharacter, and inside the magnet blueprint I toggle it ON, wait 5 seconds, and toggle it OFF again. Next, I make magnets spawn in the level by adding separate powerup spawn points in BP_Floor and a Spawn Powerups function that drops BP_PowerUp_Magnet as a child actor. To avoid spawning on every tile, I track Floor Count in BP_RunnerGameMode and only spawn a magnet every 5 floors (then reset the count). Finally, I make coins auto-collect while the magnet is active by adding a sphere collision + a simple timeline slide toward the player using VInterp To. I also fix the common issue where the floor gets destroyed before the magnet deactivates by extending the floor lifetime (don’t push it too high—40+ can hurt performance).
