What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Character

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a Star Wars island in UEFN.

2. Place static environment props or structures.

3. Set Environment Damage to Off in Island Settings.

4. (Optionally) place a Prop Manipulator and set the affected props to invulnerable.

5. Launch a fresh session or test a fresh private version.

6. Transform into Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine.

7. Use the rock-throw ability near placed props/environment pieces.

Expected Result

Vader and Emperor abilities should not destroy protected or non-destructible environment props when Environment Damage is disabled.

Observed Result

The rock-throw ability still destroys props/environment pieces. Specifically this behavior was noticed with some Outpost Enclave assets, like walls, stairs, etc, but I noticed it with other assets such as the interior of the sandcrawler prefab. It’s likely happening with other assets as well.

Platform(s)

PC, PS5 (only platforms I’ve tested on, probably breaks on all though)

Additional Notes

This appears related to the previously reported forum thread about Star Wars Force abilities destroying environment assets, which was closed as a duplicate of internal issue FORT-1068173. I can still reproduce this after 40.20.
