A token with the default down facing (i.e. equivalent -90 degrees) has its facing incorrectly set to 0 degrees (i.e. right facing) whenever an cone aura or beam aura is applied to it. Thereafter, MapTool's clear/remove facing features (in both via GUI & MT script) no longer work as expected until the offending aura is removed from the token.
This can cause issues for game systems that need to track or manage token rotation and would like to use auras for range/targeting from these tokens.
To Reproduce
Open a new blank campaign in v1.14.3 or 1.15.0 (N.B. aura beams are not available prior to 1.15.0, but the issue also manifests with aura cones in 1.14.3)
Add some cone and beam auras to the campaign: e.g.
Menu bar -> Edit -> Campaign Properties -> Light
Auras
----
Range Arcs 30/60/90: aura cone arc=135 30.5 30.9#000000 60.5 60.9#000000 90.5 90.9#000000
Line of Sight: aura beam width=0.4 150#ffff00
Create a brand-new token on the map. Note that the token should have MapTool's default facing i.e. no facing indicator arrow is shown (if Token Shape != TOP_DOWN), getTokenFacing() returns "", and getTokenRotation() returns 0.
Apply the cone and/or beam aura to the token.
Observe that token facing indicator arrow appears and points to the right (or if Token Shape = TOP_DOWN the token is rotated anti-clockwise 90 degrees), getTokenFacing() returns 0 , and getTokenRotation()returns -90
Try "Clear Facing" using the token popup menu GUI. Observe that there is no change to the token's facing - it still points to the right.
Manually rotate the token, and try again "Clear Facing" using the token popup menu GUI. Observe how the token facing is reset to the right rather than down, the correct MapTool default facing.
Clear all auras from the token, and try again "Clear Facing" using the token popup menu. Observe how the token facing is reset to down (MapTool's default token facing), getTokenFacing() again returns "", and getTokenRotation() again returns 0.
N.B. Using the MT script function removeTokenFacing() provides identical results to manually clearing the facing using the popup menu GUI.
Expected Behaviour
A token's default facing should not be modified when applying any aura and whether an aura is active or not should not effect the behaviour of clear/remove facing features.
