Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-116216)

Description

When setting the Kill Particles boolean of an emitter in a Niagara System to true, the editor crashes. So far, I've only been able to reproduce the issue with the NS_EH_KP system that a user provided for the repro. When trying to create a similar Niagara System from scratch I've been unable to reproduce the issue.

The user also added additional info: "The crash consistently happens when an emitter receives location data from another spawning emitter, "requires persistent ID" checked and activates "Kill Particles" module under the Event Handler."

Steps to Reproduce

Open the attached project
Open the NS_EH_KP Niagara System
Select the Kill Particles section on the sub_emitter
Set the Kill Particles boolean to true

RESULT:

The editor crashes

EXPECTED:

The editor doesn't crash when setting Kill Particles to true
