Summary

I have death animations setup like this, and since 41.20, they do not play on death.

OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
    if:
        NPCAgent := GetAgent[]
        NPCChar := NPCAgent.GetFortCharacter[]
    then:
        NPCChar.EliminatedEvent().Subscribe(OnNPCEliminated)

OnNPCEliminated(ElimResult: elimination_result): void =
    if (NPCChar := GetAgent[].GetFortCharacter[], NPCAnim := NPCChar.GetPlayAnimationController[]):
        NPCAnim.Play(DeathAnimation)
