[LESSON 6] Verse Tutorial doesn't work?

So in Lesson 6 of learning Verse, we go over how to apply Damage to our character as the game begins, but I copy the code exactly and the results… well… are not consistent. Surely I can’t be the only one with this issue.

I’ve tried adding delays before the first call of HurtPlayer, I’ve tried including
{ /Fortnite.com/Game }, nothing. I’m trying to search through documentation for answers and coming up with nothing.

@pipu69dev Thank you for your report! We would like to look into this further, would you be able to submit a bug report using the form available here? Fortnite Creative

Im also stuck in that section but I think is lesson 5 since Im neither able to damage my character with the code example. I sent already a message of this but I will follow up this tread as well.

I was able to get this code to work within a new project - not sure if something else I had done in that file OR if the initial “My first device” template was blocking the damage affect. But I would open a new blank map and try it there.

I’m having the same issues as well, and seeing a few other posts it looks like we’re not alone.

Invincibility is turned on by default in many island templates, therefore we must Disable Invincibility

‘fix’ the boilerplate code by following the two steps below!
A) Outliner > IslandSettings
B) set invincibility to False
