SpreadAngle Values Changes While Cutting and Pasting

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

When you insert a Particle Emitter into a Part and change the SpreadAngle Vector2 X to [Insert Value Here], Y in the Vector2 will also duplicate the X Value when you Cut and Paste the Particle Emitter anywhere. This happens every time I use Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V or Ctrl + Shift + V. This also happens when I go to test the place using the Play Test (F5).

I’ve just taken notice to this bug last night and I do not know how long this has been going on for. :frowning:
For my first authentic post, I hope this was helpful!

It seems like this isn’t restricted to Studio’s copy/pasting, as cloning the ParticleEmitter with Lua will also cause the same bug. E.g.:

a = emitter; b = a:Clone(); b.Parent = a.Parent

I just tried saving a model with a Particle in it and loading it again, and while the value is correct in the model XML, re-loading it gives the same buggy result.

Looks like this is a general bug in loading the SpreadAngle property from persistence.

Sorry, my fault. Thanks for your information. It should work now.
