<cat>Dev.Cinematic</cat> <title>CopyPaste</title> CopyPaste is an admin tool that saves a list of entities and can spawn them back into the world. # Copy You can copy entities in a box, radius or building to your clipboard. ⤶ [copybuilding](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/4F9ncclz29fQ/r2CCqILIo0KbwYOR.mp4) will target everything connected to the building you are currently looking at. ⤶ `copybuilding` will target everything connected to the building you are currently looking at. ⤶ [Copy building](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/4F9ncclz29fQ/r2CCqILIo0KbwYOR.mp4) ⤶ ## Bounding Box Use `pos1` and `pos2` to set the corners of the bounding box.

Use `paste` to place a copy of the clipboard centered on your player. By default this will try to place on the terrain, you can toggle `paste_snap_terrain` to control this.

[Paste from disk](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/JpmTsdk7kpyu/ttdQeJMyDX5vpmjb.mp4) ## Undo If you are unhappy with the way it was placed, you can use the `undopaste` command to delete the last thing you pasted in.

It will be saved in the directory `server/{Identity}/copypaste`. [Save To Disk](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/a1py6Knadzbh/wUV4CdlJACmsQrTj.mp4) [Save to disk](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/a1py6Knadzbh/wUV4CdlJACmsQrTj.mp4) # Load To load a paste from disk to your clipboard use `loadpaste <name>`. Keep in mind this will replace your current clipboard. [Load From Disk](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/yrPJo5f0JxAa/jJDlr3jf1Y8tTgrX.mp4) [Load from disk](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/yrPJo5f0JxAa/jJDlr3jf1Y8tTgrX.mp4) ## Download You can download pastes from a url with `downloadpaste <url> <name>`. If no name is provided it will use the filename of the URL. # Filters You can configure what will be pasted by modifying the filters which are client convars that start with `paste_{filter} `. Each one is named pretty self explanatory, use `find paste_` to list them all. <upload src="28cbc/8dcfea9d00af6dd.png" size="100821" name="image.png" /> **Note:** Player models pasted in will have different steam ids to prevent issues with duplicate players on the server. They will still have the same inventory and name. [Video Example](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/EIupZiR4ZjwH/NZCf7yXc2zj7DWqO.mp4)
