So, here's the situation. I have a blueprint with a normal entity and a special entity, located at the exact same position. The special entity is defined with If I place the blueprint on an empty area, ghosts of both entities get placed. If I call special_entity_ghost.revive(), the special entity revives and the ghost of the normal one remains. Great.

If I place the blueprint over trees with shift-click, the trees intersecting the normal entity are marked for deconstruction, and both ghost entities are placed. If I call special_entity_ghost.revive(), the special entity revives, but the ghost of the normal one is destroyed. What's going on?

From vague memory you have to put them either on different layers (render_layer or something like that?) or at least make sure they are not on a ground layer. Been a while since I played with that but hopefully it will help you find solution.
