Tutorial basics: The verse Damage and Heal methods don’t work for changing health of a character. The Verse scripts in Lessons 5 - 8 compile, but when executed don’t work.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Verse
Steps to Reproduce
For example in Lesson 6, this code:
OnBegin():void =
HurtPlayer()
Print(“Player Hurt”)
Sleep(25.0)
HealPlayer()
Print(“Player Healed”)
where HurtPlayer contains:
HurtPlayer(): void =
Playspace: fort_playspace = GetPlayspace()
AllPlayers: player = Playspace.GetPlayers()
if (FirstPlayer: player = AllPlayers[0]):
if (FortniteCharacter: fort_character = FirstPlayer.GetFortCharacter ):
FortniteCharacter.Damage(50.0) ←
Expected Result
← The character Health should decrease with 50, which should be visible in the game screen in the health bar.
Observed Result
The Health stays 100.0, so the health bar stays green completely.
