instance_copy(perf);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| perf | Whether to perform the new instance's Create event (true) or not (false). |
Returns: Real
With this function you can "clone" an instance as this will
create a new version of the instance running the code at its same
position. The "perf" argument is used to instruct this new instance
to perform the create event or not. This function returns the
id of
the new instance which can then be stored in a variable or used to
access that instance.
NOTE: If you choose not to perform the create event, you
may encounter errors if the instance depends on any variables
initialised in this event.
Example:
var inst;
inst = instance_number(object_index);
if inst < 10
{
instance_copy(true);
}
