UE3 - UDK Help Regarding Bump Function

[rckzilla]

Okay Guys , this is my first post on this website.I am currently working on a project.

I have an Enemy class who chases my player when the player is within specified distance. When he gets within a certain distance his health decreases.However i want my player to get a bump effect when the enemy is attacking.So i used the bump function when they both collide.But i am not able to make it bump.Only the health gets deducted.

Here is my Code function in my Enemy class which extends UTPawn

simulated event Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
	local UTPawn gv;

	super.Tick(DeltaTime);
	MyController.Tick(DeltaTime); 

	foreach CollidingActors(class'UTPawn', gv, 200)
	foreach VisibleCollidingActors(class'UTPawn', gv, 100)
	{
		if(AttAcking && gv != none)
		{
			if(gv.Health > 0)
			{

				gv.Health -= 1;
				Bump(self,CollisionComponent,vect(0,0,0));
			}
		}
	}
}

Then i have Defined my Bump function as follows

event Bump(Actor other,PrimitiveComponent OtherComp, vector HitNormal)
{
TakeDamage(6,none,Location,vect(0,0,0),class'UTDmgType_LinkPlasma');
}

However this does not seem to work. Kindly help with your inputs guys
Thank you

Bump is an event that gets called when the engine finds two actors are colliding and are not allowed to intersect. Note that if intersection is allowed (e.g. player walking over pickups), then Touch is generated instead. In either case, the event is called as a result of the collision and the necessary adjustments to prevent intersection during a bump have already been made. If you call Bump manually it's the same as if you called the function "HurrayIWasBumped" - it's a plain old function call that simply executes what you wrote inside the function.

If you want the damage to apply some force to the target actor, pass a non-zero momentum vector to TakeDamage. If you want the bump to apply force to the actor itself, adjust the actor's own Velocity.

Also, putting a VisibleCollidingActors in a foreach CollidingActors(class'UTPawn', gv, 200) loop can cause performance drawbacks. Just VisibleCollidingActors could be sufficient.
