# Clone

### Introduction

The Clone method can be used to make a copy of the AnimationChainList. This method is useful if your game needs to make copies of AnimationChainLists loaded from file. This is the case if the AnimationChainLists use the same texture coordinates, but simply use different Textures (such as different animation chains for characters in a game).

### Code Example

The following code example assumes that OriginalAnimationChainList is a valid AnimationChainList.

```
 AnimationChainList copyOfOriginal = OriginalAnimationChainList.Clone();
 copyOfOriginal.Name = OriginalAnimationChainList.Name + "Copy";
 // Adding it to the content manager allows us to get a reference to this later if necessary
 // This is not necessary, it just makes referencing by name easier:
 FlatRedBallServices.AddDisposable(copyOfOriginal.Name, copyOfOriginal, ContentManagerName);
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.flatredball.com/flatredball/api/flatredball/graphics/animation/flatredball-graphics-animationchain/flatredball-graphics-animation-animationchainlist-clone.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
