fort_character.Damage doesn't work if the instigator is a custom NPC

Summary

Calling fort_character.Damage(damage_args{Instigator:=option{npc_behavior.GetAgent.GetInstigator()}} will not deal damage to the player. changing the instigator to false does damage the player, which makes me think the issue is within the NPC.
Also tried using the NPC’s fort_character as Instigator, since it implements the game_action_instigator interface, but still, no damage dealt.
