Hello, I believe this post is what you need: [Casting Entity to Player or Agent Fails - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/casting-entity-to-player-or-agent-fails/2672698/13)  
In there the solution is a for loop and casting but now maybe with **GetComponent[fort\_character]** on the entity or with a **first loop** you can reduce boiler plate and check easier the result for players. If you need more context of the code let me know.  
Cheers
