Pasting a sprite will only draw a copy of the sprite onto the screen, it does not create a new sprite, merely draws one, so sprite 1 is still your only sprite. If you want to create another sprite, try clone sprite or make sprite commands. Hope that helps!

Oh, and if you create a sprite at say, x2000 and y2000, and paste it at x200 y200, why wont sprite x() recognise the pasted location? its kinda weird, since i believe calling the sprite command instead of the paste sprite command will slow the program down...

The functions concerning sprites are only going to return values for the actual
sprite(s) not the pasted version. As stated by H4ck1d, pasting a sprite only stamps a
image copy to the screen. Think of the sprite as being a inked rubber stamp and the
screen as a piece of paper when using the PASTE SPRITE command.

DBPro uses 3D hardware acceleration for sprites unlike DBC.
