Steps to Reproduce

Place a prop-o-matic manager and turn off “Ping Hidden Props On Interval”
Set up a creative_device with a loop every second or so to trigger the PingPlayerProps function from the connected prop_o_matic_manager_device. (Or alternatively GetPlaySpace().GetPlayers[0] and get that player/agent for PingPlayerProp(Agent), can also add a print statement so you know these functions are firing)
Give player prop-o-matic.
Turn into a prop.
Wait for ping to happen.

Expected Result

The hidden player props should be pinged audibly.

Observed Result

Nothing happens. No sound effect or any indication that function even fired.

Platform(s)

All

Additional Notes

Best workaround I could find was to call SetPingProps(true) and immediately call SetPingProps(false) on the following line. As turning on prop pings instantly pings every hidden prop player, and I turn it off immediately so I can have my own running interval timer going. However, this does not let me ping any specific player individually, this is really just a workaround for PingPlayerProps() not PingPlayerProp(Agent:agent)
