Help me on Instigator issue

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello everyone, I was following the Weapon essentials tutorial, and at one point it does a similar function with this …

void AWeapon::SetOwningPawn(AWeaponEssentialsCharacter * NewOwner)

{

if (MyPawn != NewOwner)
{
	Instigator = NewOwner;
	MyPawn = NewOwner;
}

}

and as I was following the tutorial I tried to do the same but in my case it returns error, the image I’m going to leave is in Portuguese(sorry for that)

,

but it says: a value of type “AFSCharacter* *” (my base character) can not be attributed to a “APawn *” type of entity, I did not know what it was and I checked on some of the codes that exist in the community (Shootergame and Survival Game) and both make that mention (by the way I understand it’s a conversion) , but in my compilation conversion does not happen.
Could someone help me with this? And in another doubt I’m a beginner in C ++ in the unreal engine, and I wanted to know a lot how I could expose my booleans to Anim BP;

It looks like instigator is of type AFSCharacter and NewOwner is of type APawn. It’s basicly telling you that the two types are not compatible (it does not know how to convert the two), so you have to cast APawn to AFSCharacter like this:

Instigator = cast<AFSCharacter>(NewOwner);
