    Hi guys,
    Ive got a problem and hope you could make some things clear.
    For the new Rail system coming i need lots of entitys for my ship with seperate cores.
    now for example when i want to split my capital ship ive planned in the middle, i have to
    build two parts. Both should be identically the same, but mirrored.
    One should be the right and one the left hull part, with a Mechanic, that splits both in the middle as
    an Hangar entrance or something.
    Would look similar to this ship, but everything should get closed.


    Question how do i mirror two entitys like this?

    If you got a solution pls show me or tell me how

    you could simply start by building it on one entity with the advanced build menu mirror thingies(symmetry)
    then copy paste your work onto separate entities

    why not build both sides in one entity using the current mirror functions, with the core in a common mid ground. Then save it as a BP. When you spawn it in just delete the half you dont want with the advanced build functions. I'd imagine that'd be quicker. But dont forget to take off symmetry when doing the deleting. That'd be embarrassing... and definitely not something i've done before ;).


    Damn, ninja'd

    two times similar answers with same result, that should work and ill try that.
    I havnt thought about it and usually not using copy and paste and mirror funktions.

    An easy way to copy/paste is simply to use some blocks (I use yellow/black hazzard) to indicate the size of the object that needs to be copied then I simply figure out where I want it to be and "calculate" where I need to put a block to aim at when I paste.
    You might need to copy/paste smaller bits if what you are building is larger than 50*50*50 or so

    Do it in multiple sections :). I'd always advocate going for the safer option than risking losing work due to a crash :p
