In order to paste sprites...

1. place one sprite off-screen. Because you don't want to use it anyway-

sprite 10,-100,-200,10

2. set transparency to it as such-

set sprite 10, 0, 1

ta dah!

Now, you can make as many new sprites as you want and paste them multiple times, anywhere.

No sync needed. No looping needed.
problem solved.

Or you could use hide sprite, and not need to move it offscreen.

Or guess what? I found an even better method...

whatever sprite you want to paste on screen, first just use the 'set sprite command'..

SET SPRITE Sprite Number, Backsave, Transparency

So, say you want to paste sprite # 30, first turn off the back-save of the sprite as follows..

set sprite 30,0,1 .... after doing that, it will paste just fine.
