Huh? I don't even know what that is. 2006 ? I wrote that when I started using DarkBasic if that's the date. I better find it to see if it's badly written.
[a little later]
Ah ha! There's code in it referencing a memblock that isn't necessary, and two calls to extra functions that aren't necessary.
Here's an updated version, if you want to use it. I eliminate the 2 extra functions to get a memblock or a mesh and just include it in the function. That speeds it up a bit. However, the added scale feature probably brings it back to the original speed. It will allow you to scale the copied object all in one shot. If you leave the scale values at zero, it won't scale. So a scale value of 0 or 100 = original scale. 200 would be 200% or twice the original object's x y or z dimension.
