How can I apply damage when a player is shot?

Hi, I’m making a multiplayer game, but how can I apply a damage when the player was shot?

Hey -

You could use the Apply Damage node with the damaged actor being the target getting hit and the damage causer as the weapon projectile.

How do I apply this to a hitscan weapon instead of a projectile weapon?

Hi ,

The apply damage node can get it’s damaged actor from the break hit result under a trace for hitscans. Then the damage causer is the weapon or the player.

I did this:

Event InputActionFire:

Event Any Damage:

But it doesn’t work (when shoot the player, it doesn’t decrease the Health).

Hi ,

Did you use a cast to node to the hit actor? If so you should be able to directly affect the health variable.

What do you mean? If I link the Hit Actor to the Cast node, I can’t set any variable.

I suppose that the Apply damage function is bugged, because if I do this, it doesn’t decrease health.

The problem was that the Apply damage function works only on server, and the input functions haven’t got Authority.
