Steps to Reproduce

...

@editable BarrierNextArea : barrier_device = barrier_device {}

OnUnlock(PlayerAgent : agent):void=
{
    MaybeCustomPlayer := GameManager.CustomPlayerManager.GetCustomPlayer(PlayerAgent)
    if (CP := MaybeCustomPlayer?)
    {
        # allow the player through the barrier
        BarrierNextArea.AddToIgnoreList(PlayerAgent)

        # add companion to ignore list
        if( GameManager.CompanionManager.CompanionRegistry.HasCompanion(PlayerAgent) = true )
        {
            if (CompanionAgent := GameManager.CompanionManager.CompanionRegistry.GetNPCAgentFromPlayerAgent(PlayerAgent)?)
            {
                # BUG: BARRIER REFUSES TO PROPERLY ACKNOWLEDGE NPC PLAYER
                # Doesn't matter if it is added to the ignore player list, ignore team list, or ignore class list ... same result
                BarrierNextArea.AddToIgnoreList(CompanionAgent)
            }
        }
    }
}

Expected Result

Barrier device should properly observe ignored list. If a custom NPC player is added to the ignored player list then it should be treated just like any other player added to the ignore list.

Observed Result

When a normal player is added to the barrier device ignore list, it can pass through barrier.

When a custom NPC player is added to the barrier device ignore list, it can NOT pass through the barrier.

Bumping this for visibility, as the issue is still present. Happens for both Custom & Guard options in a custom npc character definition.
