SYNOPSIS

object clone_object(string name)

DESCRIPTION

Clone a new object from definition name, and give it a new unique name. Return the new object.

The original, called blue print, used for cloning, should not be used in the system, only be used for cloning. The cloned objects contain only the data but the blue print also the function code. The blue print is the one without a unique number at the end of the object's file_name(). The clone_object() function never returns a blue print.

Note that the pathname must be complete, which means there are no relative paths allowed.

EXAMPLE

	object torch;
	torch = clone_object("/obj/torch");
