NPC's won't die
I've made a new game 3 separate times, configuring different mods and messing around with sandbox options trying to figure out why I can't shoot NPC's but they can kill me almost immediately? The only other issue i'm having is NPC's I recruit will just walk outside and stand next to the window(s). But I can't shoot any peaceful or aggressive NPC's

1. There is a button to turn on PVP mode that allows you to hurt npcs - need to try this first

2. In your mod load order move this to the very bottom. Ive encountered this issue once but not more than once. If you can get the error magnifier mod and send me the error, it would help me figure it out if it is an error.

i tried looking for the settings, PVP is enabled, the pvp button at the bottom right of my screen is enabled.

Im trying out a fix today. Could you resubscribe, reload the game, and try killing the npc again?

Hi, sorry. I haven't been on much recently. However, I moved the mod to the bottom of my load list, made an entirely new game and I still cannot do damage to NPC's with guns. I wouldn't imagine its because I'm using Gun of 93' guns to attack them. Melee damage works on both ends, I can't shoot them but they can shoot me.

The same issue

Found the issue. It is not compatible with Advanced Trajectory's Realistic Overhaul

I'm currently testing, and there's a big problem with the hostile NPC "rayder" not being shot. It seems to be in godmod. You can't kill them with a shot, only with melle.

Solution. This problem happens because you are using another mod, advanced trajectory. A popular mod, in the sandbox you need to go to the advanced trajectory mod and activate pvp. "enable damage to player".
Could you add these precautions to your mod description?

Confirming that this was caused by advanced trajectory safety features, these can be turned off in the sandbox options. This caused a few odd encounters until I figured this out.

There is a drawback with using the other mod. Friendly survivors can be shot with impunity and won't aggro on the player, as they do not recognize that you are shooting them. A little bit cheaty, however it's fine for me because I don't kill friendlies.
