Headshot Damage Not working as Intended

Development Programming & Scripting C++
1

I am new to Unreal Engine 4 and I’m following a good tutorial on creating a TPS Shooter with different mechanics.

I’ve ran into a block where whenever i shoot the test dummy, the damage stays the same no matter where i shoot. When i shoot the body, the damage of 20 displays but when i shoot the Head, the same 20 damage is applied and not multiplied.

The code compiles fine, there’s no errors. I’ve linked the mesh of the head to the SurfaceType correctly but whenever is shoot, it displays the base damage and not the headshot multiplyer.

Clearly shooting the Head but displays 20 (Multiplyer is x4)

I have the Head Mesh Set to the Vulnerable Physics Material

Can someone please help me in solving this?

Thank you
