[Solved] Cast Error from Mutate

This code is supposed to be a simple Self Destruction mutator. The idea is you just type "Mutate Explode", and then you go out with a bang. My problem is that I'm getting an error that I don't know how to fix.

SelfDestruct.uc(11) : Error, Cast from 'Pawn' to 'SelfDestruct' will always fail
Click to expand...

SelfDestruct() asks for a Pawn, and I would assume that 'Sender.Pawn' is a pawn, so I don't quite see what the problem is. Does anyone know how to make this work?

Code: 
Class SelfDestruct extends UTMutator;

var PlayerController playerController;
var Controller InstigatorController;

function Mutate(string MutateString, PlayerController Sender)
{
	Super.Mutate(MutateString, Sender);
	if (MutateString ~= "Explode" && Sender != None && Sender.Pawn != None)
	{
		SelfDestruct(Sender.Pawn);
	}
}

function SelfDestruct(Pawn P)
{
	local UTProj_HeroRedeemer Proj;
	Proj = Spawn(class'UTProj_HeroRedeemer', InstigatorController,, P.Location);
}

I'm still not sure I understand what you said, but I figured out the problem. The error here is that I made a function called "SelfDestruct" when the game already has a native SelfDestruct function. This apparently confuses the game and makes it angry. Once I changed the name of my function to "BlowUp", it works perfectly like I intended.
