I never used the CloneSprite( iSpriteIndex, iOtherSprite ) function but it seems like it doesn't work.
It does nothing.
Tested on Cloning project in tier1.
// shows how to clone a sprite
// set a virtual resolution
SetVirtualResolution ( 320, 480 )
// display a background
CreateSprite ( LoadImage ( "background2.jpg" ) )
// load a penguin image
LoadImage ( 1, "penguin.png" )
// create the base sprite and set a few properties
CreateSprite ( 1, 1 )
SetSpritePosition ( 1, 200, 200 )
SetSpriteScale ( 1, 0.6, 0.6 )
SetSpriteAngle ( 1, 30 )
SetSpriteColor ( 1, 0, 255, 255, 200 )
SetSpriteShape ( 1, 3 )
// turn debugging on
SetPhysicsDebugOn ( )
// set print color to red
SetPrintColor ( 255, 0, 0, 255 )
newSprite = CreateSprite(0)
// main loop
do
Print ( "Click or touch the screen to" )
Print ( "clone a sprite at that point" )
// check for input
if ( GetPointerPressed ( ) = 1 )
// clone sprite 1 and store its ID in newSprite
//newSprite = CloneSprite ( 1 )
CloneSprite (newSprite, 1 )
// set the cloned sprite's position to the location of input
SetSpritePosition ( newSprite, GetPointerX ( ), GetPointerY ( ) )
endif
// update the screen
Sync ( )
loop
