Array returns empty from custom verse device.

Summary

I have a device with an array of a concrete class that has more data inside. At the end of it there is a creative_device reference (path_device) where it gets used to obtain the points of a path. The OnBegin returns correctly a length of 4. But when called from Target with PathDevice.GetPoints() it returns and Empty array. So i have to use the “fallback path” that has the same references as path device but in the target_data class to obtain the points. I want to be able to use the path_device so i can quickly change only in 1 place and all the targets that use that path gets updated and not change it manually on the levels.

Update, seems the bug was in that editor session and serialization. Today, I opened the project again, and checking the references again I saw the one in the path device says none, so I set it again like in the picture and it works correctly, without changing anything.

The problem still persist with this, I made another post with the problem more obvious and less code in the middle.
