Duplicate Entites #256

Closed PandaCommando closed 6 months ago

PandaCommando commented 2 years ago

It would be nice if it was possible to make a unique duplicate of an entity, making copies of its components. The function could look like World::duplicate(&mut self, entity: Entity) -> Entity It could return the id of the copied entity. Currently(if I'm not mistaken), I don't think there is an easy way to do this.

This is impossible, because components are not required to be Clone. Consider keeping around an EntityBuilderClone yourself that you can use as needed.
