Reproduction Steps:

  1. Create a particle emitter in studio

  2. Set the emmiter type to Flipbook Grid any size works

  3. Add a flipbook texture grid to it, and run it

  4. Without changing the flipbook layout to None add a texture that’s unsupported by flipbook as the texture for the particle emitter

  2. Watch it glitch out while you cant change the flipbook style because its locked

– Expected Behavior - Flipbook layout is automatically converted to None after an unsupported texture is added

Actual Behavior - Flipbook layout stays the same, it just locks it self from being changed because of the unsupported texture, but it stills fractures the image in a flipbook grid even if the texture is unsuported

Thanks for flagging!

Hi Svenix,

I believe this bug is the same as this: Particle image rendering messed up after changing Orientation - #3 by CoastalStarlight

which should already be fixed.

Are you still seeing the bug? If not I’ll go ahead and close this report.

While i did manage to replicate it again, the fix that should have been implemented is
If a decal is unsupported by flipbook grid, then it should automatically revert to
FlipbookLayout - None

I can confirm that this fix is working. Tho the bug can still be replicated by just placing a Flipbook compatible texture which is not a flipbook

Tho, that then can be manually fixed by manualy setting the FlipbookLayout - None

Regarding the specific bug we are talking about - FlipbookLayout locked after incompatable texture is placed causing a glitch - yes, that has been fixed. Thank you to the hard working team at roblox

Any flipbook compatible texture is a flipbook. The flipbook system doesn’t have a strong opinion on what textures can be used as a flipbook. So long as it has the right dimensions, it will divide it up into a flipbook.
Since this is not a bug I’m gonna close this ticket
