Spawned Object keeps spawning at player starting location

I was trying to make a FPS Shooter in C++ from scratch based on the template, but for some reason when i run the game the projectile keeps spawning at the same location.

Here is my Spawning Code:

 void AFPSCharacter::OnFire()
 {
	// try and fire a projectile
	if (ProjectileClass != NULL)
	{
		const FRotator SpawnRotation = GetControlRotation();
		// MuzzleOffset is in camera space, so transform it to world space before offsetting from the character location to find the final muzzle position
		const FVector SpawnLocation = GetActorLocation() + SpawnRotation.RotateVector(MuzzleOffset);

		UWorld* const World = GetWorld();
		if (World != NULL)
		{
			// spawn the projectile at the muzzle
			AFPSProjectile* Projectile = World->SpawnActor<AFPSProjectile>(ProjectileClass, SpawnLocation, SpawnRotation);
			if (Projectile)
			{
				// find launch direction
				FVector const LaunchDir = SpawnRotation.Vector();
				Projectile->InitVelocity(LaunchDir);

			}
		}
	}
}

i have tested with a print to give me the value of SpawnLocation and this is what it prints:

It shows the multiple locations where they should be spawning, bue instead they all spawn at the starting location.

Hey SubjectFR,

Cannot repro your problem. I checked your code and it should work.

Try to debug SpawnActor function. It can modify your initial position.
Compare NewLocation with your SpawnLocation in line 331 (in LevelActor.cpp).
