What about Also cc @benfrankel who originally suggested |
|
That's also an improvement, but I think that the order of operations (clone the data out, then spawn a new entity with it) is clearest with my suggestion :) |

## Objective Follow-up to bevyengine#16672. `EntityCommands::clone` looks the same as the `Clone` trait, which could be confusing. A discord discussion has made me realize that's probably a bigger problem than I thought. Oops :P ## Solution Renamed `EntityCommands::clone` to `EntityCommands::clone_and_spawn`, renamed `EntityCommands::clone_with` to `EntityCommands::clone_and_spawn_with`. Also added some docs explaining the commands' relation to `Clone` (components need to implement it (or `Reflect`)). ## Showcase ``` // Create a new entity and keep its EntityCommands let mut entity = commands.spawn((ComponentA(10), ComponentB(20))); // Create a clone of the first entity let mut entity_clone = entity.clone_and_spawn(); ``` ## The Bikeshed - `clone_and_spawn` (Alice's suggestion) - `spawn_clone` (benfrankel's suggestion) - `spawn_cloned` (rparrett's suggestion)
