When setting up a Character, the Root CapsuleComponent’s collisions and trace response settings will override any change in it’s CharacterMesh, preventing any per-bone localized damage with a LineTrace.
This is my initial question: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/118851/single-line-trace-doesnt-bypass-the-capsulecompone.html
And a similar question asked few months ago: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/46650/problem-character-mesh-not-generating-hit-events.html
Hello Praglik,
After trying to find a workaround for your issue I came up empty handed and so I have submitted a feature request to the development team(Jira report UE-4565). If you find a viable solution I would be interested to know.
Cheers
Still suffering from this issue. Extremely annoying. Have you ever found a fix for this? As long as I have my blueprint with parent class Character it will just not work.
