Say I have two classes of the same type, level1:tlevel and level2:tlevel. I wish to have level2 completely identical to level1, for instance level2.x and level1.x should be the same. First thought that comes to mind would be

level2 = level1

But that doesn't work ;) How can I make a fast copy of all the contents to level2 from level1? I'd hate to have to write a manual function that copies it all over, e.g. :

(pseudocode)
copylvls(level1,level2)
function copylvls(from:tlevel,to:tlevel)
    to.x = from.x ; to.y = from.y
    to.data = from.data
    to.speed = from.speed
endfunction

Surely I'm missing something very basic here, just can't figure out what :P
