How or Can you copy a parameter, action, or parameter set from one block to another???
Or can you add a customized parameter, action or set to a Authoring palete?

Thanks!

Chrisi've tried once without success and just assumed that they are created 'special' and couldn't be duplicated like normal entities and never looked back. personally, i like having to add functions from scratch anyway, keeps the tightest control over behaviors & functionality. (you never know what's affecting what if you could copy/paste willynilly in DB editor :shock: )
maybe a better seasoned programmer-type could further explain this issue?

I have tried on many occasions to copy parameters and / or actions from one block to another and have come away unsuccessful. I don't think they ever thought of the idea. Or maybe it was a purposeful omission. Like Chris says ....

As it stands, I find that being forced to add all parameters and actions yourself not only helps with control & behaviour, but it also forces you to think about WHY you are wanting to do it and it also keeps your maaad skillz up to date.
