i dont know what is wrong here, I’ve set up the same nav link proxy in other places with the exact same door and they all work just fine, but this one doesn’t work and I don’t know why, its so frustrating

Perhaps you suffer from the same point like here:

It seems that in some cases the wrong NavLinkProxy is chosen by the AI or something similar.

Have you found a solution in the meantime?

Yeah, the problem for me was instead of creating a new nav link proxy I was duplicating it by alt dragging.  
Don’t duplicate it cuz it seems to break the nav link somehow.

Thank you for your reply. I’ll try it out.

It also looks like that the problem only occurs when I use the PIE (game testing in the editor). With standalone it seems to work (did some tests and it always worked). Perhaps this information helps finding the bug, inside.
