I have multiple “Enemy” blueprints that inherit from a “CombatAI“ parent class, which in turn is a child of the default “Character” class. After reparenting “CombatAI“ to a new “CustomCharacter” class, I’m getting the error message below.
Old class hierarchy: Character > CombatAI > Enemy
New class hierarchy: Character > CustomCharacter > CombatAI > Enemy
LogOutputDevice: Error: === Handled ensure: ===

The error pops up seemingly at random when I edit any of the blueprints. I couldn’t find any way of deliberately reproducing the error, nor isolating which blueprint exactly is causing the issue.
I made a lot of deep-reaching changes before noticing the error, which makes it difficult to undo everything. Does anyone know what this error even means and how I can fix it? Web searches are giving me nothing related to my particular issue.
