Hello. I’m using `LineTraceSingleByProfile` and I’m not getting an impact hit. The profile name is `Enemy`, so I’m wondering why this is not working.

```
FHitResult HitResult;
bool bSuccessfulHit = World->LineTraceSingleByProfile
(
    HitResult, PlayerLocation, TargetUnitLocation, TEXT("Enemy")
);

```

`bSuccessful` hit is always false. Here are the profile settings:

And the capsule on the enemy character is set to the profile (which is what I expect the raycast to hit).

Clearly I’m doing something wrong, but I’m unsure what. I’ve tried a variety of different collision settings and none of them work. Am I misunderstanding how `LineTraceSingleByProfile` works?

The `Enemy` profile needs to `Block` for the `Enemy` object type.
