VFX Spawner: Snow effect ignores its niagara box size and is applied everywhere on the map

Summary

When you use a VFX Spawner and select snow, the effect ignores its niagara box size and is applied everywhere on the map. Even setting a specific class is not working and will always show up to any team and class.
