Barrier Device "Invisible to Ignored Players" Option Not Functioning as Intended

Summary

The “Invisible to Ignored Players” option on the Barrier Device is not functioning as intended. When activated, the barrier initially behaves correctly, remaining invisible to ignored players. However, if an ignored player moves away from the barrier and then approaches it again, the barrier’s texture becomes visible to them. This issue is purely visual; the collision remains active and functions correctly. The barrier returns to its intended invisible state upon player respawn, but the visibility bug recurs if the player moves away and re-approaches.
