Why Apply Radial Damage is not applied to instigator?

[Ivan3z]

The instigator takes no damage…
Other pawns take damage but the shooter does not.
I do not know why, but I want it to be damaged.

• DamageCauser: Is the pawn ( the shooter).

• TheOwner: Is a projectile.
  The projectile cannot be damaged but I add it to the IgnoreActors array because an empty array causes radial damage to not work.

• The weapon cannot be damage either.

• The instigator is the controller of the pawn or nullptr:
  If the instigator is a nullptr does not fix the problem

	TArray<AActor*> IgnoreActors;
	IgnoreActors.Add(TheOwner);

	UGameplayStatics::ApplyRadialDamage
	(
		World,
		BaseDamage,
		Origin,
		DamageRadius, 
		DamageTypeClass, 
		IgnoreActors, 
		DamageCauser, 
		Instigator, 
		bDoFullDamage, 
		ECollisionChannel::ECC_Visibility
	);

I olso tried to change the last parameter to: ECollisionChannel::ECC_WorldStatic but this didn’t work either.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much!!

Ok… i got it
DamageCauser must be nullptr if you want the shooter be damaged.
Otherwise it will be ignored.

Thank you so much!!
