Steps to Reproduce

slime_behavior_basic := class(npc_behavior):
@editable var Attack1 : animation_sequence = Animations.Green_Slime_Attack_Anim
@editable NPCDamage : float = 10.0
@editable var CheckTargetRange : float = 1000.0
@editable var AttackDistance : float = 200.0

var NPCEntity : entity = entity{}

# This function runs when the NPC is spawned in the world and ready to follow a behavior.
OnBegin< override>()< suspends>:void=
    # TODO: Replace this with your code
    Playspace := GetGlobalPlayspace()

    if: 
        NPCAgent := GetAgent[]
        NPCChar := NPCAgent.GetFortCharacter[]
        
        #Allows us to tell npcs to go to different place like the pathfinding service in roblox
        NPCNav := NPCChar.GetNavigatable[]

        #Control where npc is looking
        NPCFocus := NPCChar.GetFocusInterface[]

        #Control the npc's animations
        NPCAnim := NPCChar.GetPlayAnimationController[]
    then:     
        loop:
            Sleep(0.1)
            if (not NPCChar.IsActive[]):
                break
            if (NewTarget := FindNearestTargetFromPos[NPCChar], NewAgent := NewTarget.GetAgent[]):
                NavTarget := MakeNavigationTarget(NewAgent)
                DistanceDifference := Distance(NPCChar.GetTransform().Translation, NewTarget.GetTransform().Translation)
                TeamCollection := FortPlayspace.GetTeamCollection()
                if ( TeamAttitude := TeamCollection.GetTeamAttitude[NewAgent, NPCAgent]):
                    if(TeamAttitude = team_attitude.Hostile):
                        Print("is Hostile")
                if (DistanceDifference < AttackDistance):
                    DamageArgs := damage_args{Instigator := option{NPCChar}, Source := option{NPCChar}, Amount := NPCDamage}
                    NewTarget.Damage(DamageArgs)

Additional Notes

If you remove the Instigiator it will damage the player. The issue is I use the damage amplifier device for players and the amount of damage taken is based off of the damage amplifier if I cannot make the NPC the instigator. So currently if I have a 4x amplifier applied to a player and the NPC damage is 10 the NPC will do 40 damage in the fort_character.Damage() function. This is why I would like to pass in the Instigator as the NPC so the damage amplifier is ignored. Thank you!
