Normally, instancing a scene in code isn’t difficult, just use preload(). However, if I try and preload a scene of the same type as scene code I’m writing, I get a cyclic reference error on the preload() line.

Is there any way of doing this, apart from moving the code into some other scene?

‘duplicate’ should work.

var scene_copy = duplicate()
