i cant believe there isn't just a simple client sided mod to do this yet
we have saving, loading, and moving order of events, but no copy/paste?

You sir, do not know what the forget you are talking about.
He means copying individual lines as opposed to whole bricks.

In the process of learning how to use VCE you have essentially taught yourself some of the fundamentals of programming. You're already aware of variables, arrays, logic, etc. Really all you need to learn is syntax. Trying to force complex eventing into Blockland isn't the answer. You're raising the difficulty of eventing for all users just to satisfy a few special cases which would be better served by scripts.

It's still better to have events in-game to do this, because you can actually do things like this in-game. Instead of only the host being able to do things on the server, and having to possibly restart the server every time you do a small bit of code.

You know that one event saver Clockturn made? It's really easy to just event in the save files (in which you can copy paste lines and find-replace stuff) then load the file you created / edited into Blockland. I've heavily relied on that the past few times I've done things with default events.
