clone a force under a new name

[StormyStrife]

I'd like to request a command that can clone a force and all it's properties and settings under a different name

by this i mean, make a perfect copy of a force, with all the same base starting recipes and technologies, but none of the newly unlocked stuff, and under a different name, namely want it to put into my mod so i and others can play it PvP-style, since there will be multiple forces, all with different tech trees, and recipes

I'd make it myself, but i'm really unsure how tbh

Code: Select all

/c
local old_force = game.player.force
local new_force = game.create_force("new-force")

game.player.force = new_force

local old_technologies = old_force.technologies
local new_technologies = new_force.technologies

for tech_name, tech in pairs (old_technologies) do
	new_technologies[tech_name].researched = tech.researched
end
