<aside> ⚡ script "core_copytranslation" (void)
</aside>
This script can be called by an actor to immediately change its translation to the same translation being used by that actor’s target actor pointer (AAPTR_TARGET). The translation that is applied will exist on the server-side, meaning that it can be transferred to another server-side actor using [SXF_TRANSFERTRANSLATION](<https://zdoom.org/wiki/A_SpawnItemEx#:~:text=the%20constant%20names%3A-,SXF_TRANSFERTRANSLATION,-%2D%20the%20spawned%20actor>).
This code defines an actor called CopyRobot which can be summoned similar to Copy Vision. It will teleport in, fire Mega Buster shots while copying the user’s colors for a moment, then teleport out with the last set of colors it had.
