Copying

[rifter1818]

Hi just wonder about making copies of things, what i want to know is how to control what makes a copy of and what makes a refrence to, A prime example of this is using ByRef and ByVal in functions, however i want to do this with objects not being passed into the functions, such as lets say i have my character class and Player1 is a character,..... how would i set Player2 = to player1 such that player2 is independant (not a refrence to) of player1, and how would i set it such that it is?

dim Player2 as new Player1

create a new copy (independent class)

 

dim Player2 as Player1

(dependent/same class with same object)

I don't know VB but with c# I would implement ICloneable...
