I’m doing the last part of the course in UE5, I know I could have problems and this is one of them. My ImpactEffect doesn’t show, I Know that my chanel is working because the debug point works, All the code is the same as in the lecture of the lesson but I don’t know what to do. Anyone here has a similar error?

Your code looks fine. Maybe something else is at fault. Zip up your game project file, upload it on any cloud storage platform (Google Drive), and share it with us. I am not a professional, but I will try my best.
And please use File > Zip Project within Unreal so unneeded files are excluded.
Is the code reaching here? Have you tried adding log statements? Did you set the owner of the Gun?
I am assuming that if the owner is not set, then the debug point should not work because he wrote this line in his code: - if (OwnerPawn == nullptr) return;
I am not sure. Maybe I am wrong.

You are passing the 1st parameter wrong.
SimpleShooterEditor Win64 Development Build. If you use live coding, then the impact particle will most likely disappear from BP_Gun every time.GetWorld() with this. The first parameter is asking for const UObject* WorldContextObject rather than Const UWorld* InWorld.These steps will resolve your issue.
Good luck on your next adventure.
I use that parameters because I remember using the same function in the toon tank section, but it doesn’t work either. You can see in the code i share earlier that I’m not using “this”
Just use below code instead of your:-
UGameplayStatics::SpawnEmitterAtLocation(this, ImpactEffect, Hit.Location, ShotDirection.Rotation());
The Same, Its not working
Do you have discord?
yeah
give me your Id i will send you request

The solution was to verify the Unreal Engine Files.
