ENTITY:PreEntityCopy#560684
<function name="PreEntityCopy" parent="ENTITY" type="hook">
<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>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
