    Hi,

    What is the best way to use this function ?
    Is there a tutorial ?

    do i only press the button, or do i need to choose each one in the library?
    this might be very important for our game.

    First off you have to do this on every scene - every object you use it on must have the same setting or they will be lost. Also save versions as you go 'just in case' something messes up.

    With that said you just click on an object in a scene then choose 'tools' at the top and 'convert to clones'.

    This is an advanced feature so always create back ups!!!

    What does this do exactly?

    If you have to select only one object, to what other object does it get cloned?

    don't use convert to clones on items that are linked by connections

    Sometimes documentation is helpful ;-)

    Thanks trudnai, this resolves the second question but not the first.
    Someone knows what the Convert to Clones really does and what impact it has on the performance (if at all)?
