I replied your email. I've got an Android device here; if you send me a project copy with the error I then can find it and fix this issue.
I of course delete the files after I find the bug!

Edit:
Btw, I'm pushing today a "blind fix" for this problem. I have an idea of why this is happening to you, but keep in mind I haven't seen this error myself so I can't guarantee it's a 100% fix.

I've submitted update (1.3.6) with fix for this issue.
Hopefully Marketplace team can process the update quickly :]

I also got that Invalid Template Class error. After removing all objPool-blueprints that wasnt needed anymore, the message dissapeared. I believe I had some old blueprints there that didnt have right parent class anymore. But didnt look after it better. Having still over 10 pools and no cook issues.

That may have something to do with invalidation of pins; so this is why I pushed a "reinforcement" code within 1.3.6 to make sure pins won't ever be invalidated when you have a pool connected to the node. It's still just a guess since I have never seen this issue myself, but this code patch may have fixed this.

1.3.6 is already live on marketplace for UE4.16 and UE4.17; very worthy upgrade to it now from plugin 1.3.5 and earlier!

After enabling "Use Compilation Manager" in 4.17.2, getting that Invalid Template Class error again. Even after the plugin update. I noticed I didnt have instigator connected to spawn-node if that would cause it. Will try to package demo again tommorow. If "Use Compilation Manager" is disabled, the packaging works, but getting fatal crash when trying launch the game. But dont know if that was related with this error.

I have that enabled as well; no issue seen.
Are you packaging for windows? Could you send me a full log file?

[SaOk]

Sure, sent. Tried to remake all components and keeping settings as default for used components in blueprint and for spawn. But still getting that error when trying to package. Using only character pools. The template class have {S} Pool Character as parent class. One of the template class is child for character that have {S} Pool Character as parent. But the error is listed 4 times and having 4 components as total.

Edit: Wasnt the child. After removing that, the 3 remeaining pools still give that errror.

Thanks!
I am packaging now 1.3.7 with changes based on the logs you provided; there's interesting warnings rolling there.
Looks like Unreal 4.17.2 have small changes inside few internal API functions; still, I should be able to see these errors myself as well, the fact they never happen here is still making me mad.
Will submit this another 1.3.7 patch anyways, let's see how it goes for you.

1.3.7 is already up on Marketplace and Launcher library (for UE4.16 and UE4.17).

Yes, please send logs.
This error makes no sense at all for me; I've tried a dozen projects and still I can't reproduce it.
The only reason for this to fire is if your Pool Component's Template Class input field is somehow being reset to "null" by the Editor, but if that is happening there I have no idea why.

If this may help you until I get back home to send you logs.

From the images I've send you LaserblasterBP is spawned and controled via MainPawnBP. But wouldnt this affect also older engine versions?

[SaOk]

Also still getting the same error. Been trying to see what could be related with the problem, but no luck so far.

[GRADgr]

Saok which other third party plugins are you using? Am with gameDNA plugins and the PathFollow , maybe those have to do with this?
