Settings

You can now use the UsePlayerProximitySpawning setting in the BP_MasterItemSpawner to enable item spawn to only spawn items when a player is near by, then if UseEndProximityDestroyItem is enabled when no players are near by the spawners item will be destroyed.

If your item spawners have their UsePlayerProximitySpawning setting enabled you must also enable the UseProximityItemSpawning settings in the BP_CharacterComponent Class Defaults.
Here you can control also control the distance at which item spawner spawn their items using the ProximityItemSpawningRadius setting, this setting is in CM so for example 4000 is 40 meters.
