	FCollisionQueryParams CollisionParams;
	FVector Start= FP_Gun->GetComponentLocation();
     
	DrawDebugLine(GetWorld(), Start, End, FColor::Green,true,2.f,false,4.f);

I personally would create a function in the character you try to apply damage to called, cast to that function when you hit the character and apply the damage yourself.
Similar to this:

horde character:

void AHordeCharacter::OnFire()
{
   AAICharacter* character = Cast<AAICharacter>(hit.GetActor());

    //linetrace stuff
    
    if(hit.GetActor)
    {
    character->Damage(damageamount);
    }
}

AICharacter:

void AAiCharacter::Damage(damageamount)
{
health = health - damageamount;
}

On the other hand the underscore in the “AAI_Character” could be an issue, but I’m not sure about that.

i keep getting a error for hit is undefined

try adding “ForceInit” to the Fhitresults.
Like this: FHitResults hit(ForceInit);

it still says it, i am suppose to be including a file
