IK skeletal mesh not firing hit events unless hit actor is simulating physics (Blueprints)

Its not because it isn’t the root component, its because you aren’t sweeping the collision body by setting its bone transforms. You can simulate the bone but set its physics blend weight to 0.0 (locking it to the animation) and it will actually throw simulated hit events though if you really need it mesh side.

Thanks for the input M! I’ll take a look next time I work on that project.
