alice-teacher Duplicating and instantiating objects

[Sharick, Edward]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to duplicate an object that is already in the scene. I have a student who is designing a maze and wants to duplicate wall objects. He has to drag each individual piece from the bottom. Is there a way to copy an already instantiated object?

Likewise, is there a way to create an object while the animation is running. For example, if I were designing a space shooter game and wanted to create the projectiles as the user pushes the fire button and then destroy them as they leave the camera view, is there a way to do this.

Thanks,
-Eddie
