ENTITY:PreEntityCopy#552807

<function name="PreEntityCopy" parent="ENTITY" type="hook"> <ishook>yes</ishook>⤶ <description> Called before the duplicator copies the entity. If you are looking for a way to make the duplicator spawn another entity when duplicated. ( For example, you duplicate a "prop_physics", but you want the duplicator to spawn "prop_physics_my" ), you should add prop_physics.ClassOverride = "prop_physics_my". The duplication table should be also stored on that prop_physics, not on prop_physics_my. </description> <realm>Server</realm> <predicted>No</predicted>⤶ </function> <example> <description>Example on how to store values for duplicator, and then restore them afterwards</description> <code> -- Store the value for duplicator function ENT:PreEntityCopy() self.MyDuplicatorVariasble = self:GetSequence() end -- Restore the saved value function ENT:PostEntityPaste() -- Always validate data before using it if ( !self.MyDuplicatorVariasble ) then return end self:ResetSequence( self.MyDuplicatorVariasble ) end </code> </example>
