So Metatables are supposed to save memory so
if I were to use table.clone() on a Metatable, would that clone the Metatables functions
or would it be the same as just doing
local newMeta = setmetatable({}, oldMeta)
My purpose for this is to clone the contents of the Metatable like variables
You can’t clone a metatable i think because of the special functionality it provides. It’s the same as trying to pass a metatable through an event, it will be a plain table
Well I tested it with table.clone and it kept the functions BUT I’m not sure if its cloning the functions using more memory
Don’t quote me but I think since copy returns a different table than the one its getting cloned from then it will create new memory addresses for the functions too. You could try printing the memory addresses of the functions and see
Oh yeah it seems the memory address when I print both are the same
so I’m guessing its doing as I wanted it to and not creating a whole new function
