Copy-Paste tool?

So, I was thinking, while on my friend AlucardX60's level, I was making BIT.TRIP art. Trouble was, I had to move some of it.

So I deleted it, and did it again in the right place.

It made me think how an 'area-select --> copy-paste' tool would be useful. Just highlight the area you want to move (or draw a border) and move it. Much more efficient.

I hope this might happen.

No, it would take too many server place that we don't have.

at the worst it would be like everyone who has access to it would have an extra large world.   you can just offer it for the same price as a large world and problem solved.

Do you GET me? Just highlight an area, move it, job done. How would that OVERLOAD the servers?

It's not as easy as it sounds. You can't just type 'highlight area and move' into some code and expect it to work.
Also, suggested before.

You could copy people's worlds. It should be limited to your own world.

my point is that it wouldn't.

it would probably be best to put it under the 'modify level' section.

Obviously, we don't GET you. When you copy something, the game must remember what you copied. When you copy and paste text, the text that you copied is copied on to a clipboard, or at least that's what I think it's called. What you copied stays in the clipboard and must be remembered. Everyone copying stuff in EE means that the Player.IO severs or whatever have to remember what everyone is copying. EE lags enough already.

This is an EPIC idea, however, this will make trolling a LOT worse. Theu swould make 10x10 blocks and copy them and start trolling them.

If you stored the staggered array of copied blocks locally in the flash app, I don't see how it would overwhelm the server. When pasting, I don't see how it would cause any more lag than flying around in god mode with your mouse pressed, drawing everywhere you move.

You could even limit the maximum size of the copy-able area (10x10, or even 5x5).

+1 for this idea. It would really help level creation, and add an interesting dynamic to boss rooms.

the only way that could happen is if the troll owns the level.   the copy/paste will be ion the tools section, it maybe in the modify level menu, so only the owner could use it.  

the space should be 50x50, because that's about the same area as your screen shows.   this would be the equivalent of a tiny map, which is the smallest size available.   for useing it, you should be able to drag it around, to help fill areas that are all one type of block.

This is good. Only the owner of the level can move it.

And, why can't the copy-paste be temporary? Once you've moved it/pasted it, can't you make it to just disappear from the clipboard?

^acctually, that would be even better.   even if you misplace it you can always re-copy and paste it.
