I’m also seeing this. Here is a simple example, the DamagedEvent never triggers.

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Fortnite.com/Game }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics }

test_objective_events_device := class(creative_device):

    @editable
    Objective : objective_device = objective_device{}

    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
    {
        Objective.DamagedEvent().Subscribe(OnDamagedEvent)
        Objective.DestroyedEvent.Subscribe(OnDestroyedEvent)
    }

    OnDamagedEvent(Results:damage_result):void=
    {
        Print("hit!")
    }

    OnDestroyedEvent(Player:agent):void=
    {
        Print("destroyed!")
    }
