Description

"Given entity list and constraint list, create all entities and return their tables"

Calls duplicator.CreateEntityFromTable on each sub-table of EntityList. If an entity is actually created, it calls ENTITY:OnDuplicated with the entity's duplicator data, then duplicator.ApplyEntityModifiers, duplicator.ApplyBoneModifiers and finally ENTITY:PostEntityPaste is called.

The constraints are then created with duplicator.CreateConstraintFromTable.

Arguments

1 Player Player
The player who wants to create something
2 table EntityList
A table of duplicator data to create the entities from
3 table ConstraintList
A table of duplicator data to create the constraints from

Returns

1 table

2 table
