New page

To copy an entity in the [[Level Editor|Level Editor]], select it then click the [[File:ToolBarCopy.png|link=]] ''Copy'' icon on the [[Tool Bar|Tool Bar]].

There are two ways to paste the entity, [[File:ToolBarPaste.png|link=]] ''Paste'' and [[File:ToolBarPasteInst.png|link=]] ''Paste Instance''. Click the appropriate icon on the [[Tool Bar|Tool Bar]], position the new copy with the mouse and click to place it.

[[File:ToolBarPaste.png|link=]] ''Paste'' will place a new entity identical to the one copied, but properties such as [[AI Tab|AI behaviour]] can be changed for the new copy without affecting the original. This could be used if a few identical ships are to behave in different ways or move at different speeds.

[[File:ToolBarPasteInst.png|link=]] ''Paste Instance'' will place a ''Clone'', a new entity identical to the one copied, but with properties such as [[AI Tab|AI behaviour]] shared with the original which cannot be set independently. This could be used for a wave of identical enemies - only one needs editing to change the properties of them all. Selecting a clone gives the Clone general pane:
