 Type: | Construction tool |
 Primary fire: | Duplicate selected entity(ies) |
 Secondary fire: | Select entity(ies) to duplicate |
 Notes: | The Duplicator will copy everything attached to the object as well. |
Brief
Creates exact copies of whole contraptions or ragdoll poses.
Instructions
Aim at what you want to copy, then use the secondary fire to select it. Then move to where you want it to be copied to and use the primary fire.
Variables
- Store
- Will store the selected contraption or pose until the game restart.
Useful hints
- The Duplicator copies everything attached to the object when you select what to copy. This means you can copy entire contraptions. Anything in the Constraints section and the No-Collide tool will link props together.
- You can save your contraptions using the context menu, then select the ones you want from the list. Currently, quitting the game will reset the list.
- To duplicate multiple objects that aren't part of a single contraption, make sure all of the objects are stationary (preferably frozen), and then weld them together using a force limit only slightly above 0. Even though a trivial amount of force will break the temporary welds, the duplicator gun will count the objects as a single contraption thus allowing you to copy them as a group.
- Duplicated ragdolls might be buggy.
