How do you drag and drop and delete clones?

#1

Hi there,

I am very new to the Wick editor and programming in general. I would like
to limit cloning to only when a parent object is clicked.

Is it possible to drag and drop and delete clones without spawning a new clone from the parent object
the clones came from?

I saw a few other questions on the forum about cloning, but they didn’t seem to be resolved. I am hoping someone now has a solution.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated! Here is an example of what I have so far:

Basically what you want to do is is the _isClone property to check if something is a clone or not. Using this you can basically do whatever with your clones as long as you aren’t updated the clone’s parent!

Thanks so much, MisterMender! I really appreciate your help. That’s exactly what I was trying to do.
I am still trying to figure out how to drag objects so that there is no lag with the mouse and how to delete all clones with a single button. Does anyone have any thoughts on the attached example? Thanks!
