I’ve created some example for my current case.

I have several different NavLinkProxies for different vaulting scenarios in my game.  
In this case I positioned the following NavLinkProxy actors in the level

VaultOverObstacle\_050\_NavLink  
VaultOverObstacle\_075\_NavLink  
VaultOverObstacle\_100\_NavLink  
VaultOverObstacle\_150\_NavLink  
VaultOverObstacle\_200\_NavLink

which all directly inherit from AIModule.NavLinkProxy

I furthermore used also blueprint implementations but they seem to have the same issue.

So I placed always 3 of these NavLinkProxies next to each other (by copying them with ALT + drag in the editor).

In some cases the AI uses different ones when running to me, because of a little bit different positioning, so I can try around.

Here is the implementation of the VaultOverObstacle\_050\_NavLink.

It simply calls a method on my character and it also gives a reference of the current NavLinkProxy to this character. After some testing I saw that this reference is the wrong one!

So I added a print string into the NavLinkProxy…

and even there the NavLinkProxy has sometimes the completely wrong reference.

In my last run the first NavLinkProxy should have been of class VaultOverObstacle\_050\_NavLink but it was the reference of the last left NavLinkProxy from the first screenshot VaultOverObstacle\_200\_NavLink3.

This is really a major issue because in this way the NavLinkProxy system is not usable for me.
