Basic use of Clone()

The Roblox function "Clone()" is a very valuable function. It can make copies of anything you want it to. Like if I wanted to create a certain brick multiple times, I could use this:

Code:: new_brick = Workspace.Brickname:Clone

This creates a piece for us to use. It's parent is nil, so we must put it inside of the Workspace.

Code:: new-brick.Parent = Workspace

Now we have our copy visible. We can edit the brick to suit our needs now.

Code:: new_brick.Position = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
new_brick.Name = "My new brick"
new_brick.Anchored = true

but wait a minute... what is new_brick? is it just a command you made up? or is it actually an alternative to the function :Clone()?

The first thing I wrote: new_brick = Workspace.Brickname:Clone

Its a variable

Code:: create = Workspace.Brickname:Clone

your making it sound like your writing C...
