Launch Character node firing but not doing anything

So I’m having a problem where I have two characters from the same blueprint. I’m only controlling one of them. I make one of them punch another and then both of them are meant to launch into the air. However, when the Launch Controller node is fired on the uncontrolled character, it doesn’t do anything, but it does for the controlled character. Is this due to some control settings I haven’t messed with or something?
