This command will create an instance copy of the object.

INSTANCE OBJECT Object Number, Source Object

Object Number

Integer
The new object number

Source Object

Integer
The object number we are copying

This command does not return a value.

Unlike CLONE OBJECT, this instance will share most of the original objects data and be dependent on the original object remaining in existence to hold such data. Instanced objects do have the ability to hide/show both their limbs and hide/show the object, independent of the original object. This command is ideally suited to copying large numbers of primarily static objects such as trees and rocks where the original model data is to remaing largely unchanged.
