# fz_anim_node_copy

Description

Copies the source animation node in the animation node hierarchy as a new child of the given parent. The recursive flag specifies whether or not to copy all the children nodes of the source entity also.
If the source node is an entity, the dst_parent may be NULL (which represents the root). Also, the entity itself will be copied, and the destination animation node will correspond to the copied entity. For example, if an object called "Object 1" is animated, copying the object's animation node will create, not only a second animation node, but also the object in the Object palette to which it corresponds.
If the source node is a track, the dst_parent may NOT be NULL. Multiple tracks of the same type are not meaningful at this point in time, so the dst_parent should be a different parent than the source's parent, and the track must be compatible (see fz_anim_node_trac_is_compatible).
If the source node is a controller, the dst_parent may NOT be NULL. The dst_parent must be a track. Multiple Bezier controllers as children to a single track parent is not meaningful at this point in time, so the dst_parent should be a different parent than the source's parent for Bezier controllers. Other controller types can have the same parent.
