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. 

## Bounding Box

Use `pos1` and `pos2` to set the corners of the bounding box. [copybox](https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/9j1hXbiuwKAd/XdqZRNYDmqVb21Gj.mp4) will copy everything inside that box to your clipboard.

# Paste

Once you have something in your clipboard (after copying from world or loading from disk) you can paste it into the world.

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.

If you want to paste something directly from disk without loading it first, you can use `paste NAME`. **Note:** this won't replace your current clipboard.

## 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.

# Save

If you want to persist a clipboard of entities across server restarts, you can give it a name and save it to disk via the command `savepaste <name>`. It will be saved in the directory `server/{Identity}/copypaste`.

# Load

To load a paste from disk to your clipboard use `loadpaste <name>`. Keep in mind this will replace your current clipboard.

## 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.

**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.
