Hi, guys! I would like to be able to clone an object when executing an action in live using the action recorder tool, is it possible? Is there another method you can clone objects in live?

  You can't use the clone tool while recording an Action Recorder, but it is possible to make an object capable of duplicating itself, and activating the logic that does that self-duplication is something that can be recorded. To make an object able to duplicate itself:

  1. Stamp an Emitter.
  2. Set the Emitter's emitted object to be the object that you want to self-duplicate.
  3. IMPORTANT: Set the Emitter's emit mode to continuous - if you don't do this it will spam copies uncontrollably.
  4. IMPORTANT: Set the Emitter's time between emits to at least 0.0666666667 seconds (2 frames) - if you don't do this it will spam copies uncontrollably.
  5. Turn off preview invisibility.
  6. Turn on the self-duplicating object's power - making it the emitted object will have turned it off.
  7. Move the Emitter into the self-duplicating object's logic - you can surface snap it to the object directly if the object doesn't have a Microchip.
  8. Turn off the Emitter's power.
  9. Wire whatever logic you want to trigger self duplication to the Emitter's power.

  Or if you simply want to make a copy of the object at some point in an animation, make an emitter and link it to the thing you want to make a copy of, and stick it in the animation's timeline at the point you want it to appear.
