Copy Displays

[kurosawa]

Hello

How do i copy a display including the text, i made a fancy 6x6 logic block with displays describing what to do what is what, but if it loses content when you copy or template it it...

I enter the text input mode (R) and copy paste it as text (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V)

That is ofcause fine, how ever i want to copy a block 6x6x1 block which include multiple display blocks describing the logic in operating an air lock door

I wanted to reuse this control block for every feature airlock door, but if the game cannot maintain the text when doing templates or just copy it is all for nothing.

Yep, sadly the data inside the block is lost with advanced copy-paste. I think that sometimes it might be kept, tho.

If you use blueprints it's kept too. You could create a dockable entity with these 36 blocks and spawn instances of it.
