Creature Spawners Can Be Destroyed by Ice King’s Gauntlets Despite Being Invisible/Invulnerable

Summary

There is currently a bug in UEFN and FNC where certain weapons/items, such as the Ice King’s Gauntlets, can destroy Creature Spawners even when the spawner is configured to be Invisible and Invulnerable.
The spawner should not be able to receive damage or be destroyed when Invulnerability is enabled. However, the Ice King’s Gauntlets are still able to damage and destroy the Creature Spawner.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a UEFN project.
Place a Creature Spawner device.
Set the Creature Spawner to Invisible.
Enable its Invulnerable setting.
Start a play session.
Equip/use the Ice King’s Gauntlets.
Attack the Creature Spawner with the gauntlets.
The Creature Spawner can still be destroyed despite being set to Invulnerable.

Expected Result

The Creature Spawner should remain completely immune to damage and should not be destroyable while Invulnerable is enabled, regardless of which weapon or item is used.

Observed Result

The Ice King’s Gauntlets can bypass the Creature Spawner’s invulnerability and destroy it.

Additional Notes

This appears to be specific to the interaction between the Ice King’s Gauntlets and certain devices in UEFN and FNC. The issue can be particularly problematic for maps that rely on hidden/invulnerable Creature Spawners for gameplay logic, as players can unintentionally or intentionally destroy these devices.
This should be investigated to ensure that device invulnerability is respected by the Ice King’s Gauntlets and similar weapons/items.
