Getting an agent when the HitEvent from a shooting_range_target_device is triggered

[electro.walker]

Does anybody know how to get the agent who triggered the HitEvent from a shooting_range_target_device ? Or at least, how to know which of the player hit or shot on a target ?

Looking for this answer as well.

I’ll try to get someone to help.

Hey all, we’re digging in here. Ticket: FORT-784634

In the meantime you can workaround this issue by utilizing the trigger_device to obtain a reference to the Agent. Here’s an example to obtain a reference to the Agent who triggered the device.

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics }

hello_world_device := class(creative_device):
    @editable
    SRT : shooting_range_target_device = shooting_range_target_device {}

    @editable
    TRG : trigger_device = trigger_device {}


    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=


        TRG.TriggeredEvent.Subscribe(OnTriggered)
        SRT.HitEvent.Subscribe(OnHit)

    OnHit(Info : tuple()):void=
        TRG.Trigger()
    
    OnTriggered(MaybeAgent : ?agent):void=
        if(Agent := agent[MaybeAgent?]):
            # do stuff with Agent

Is there any update on getting the agent directly through the shooting_range_target_device without using a trigger device? I tried this and it did not work; the “if (Agent := agent[MaybeAgent?])” check fails

You need to bind the trigger device to your target device through 1.0 DEB, there’s no Verse API exposed for that method, so there’s no other way
