How to copy multiple events along with their actions in Construct2

Question

I have an event sheet named "EVENT SHEET 1", there are events in it. I want to copy these events to "EVENT SHEET 2".

When I do this by selecting desired events, all the events get copied into a single event.

How do I paste the events so they maintain their original structure?

Why is this down-voted? Seems reasonable to me. – BanksySan Mar 04 '15 at 18:21 — BanksySan, Mar 04 '15 at 18:21

If you want all the events from EVENT SHEET 1 in the 2 you should go to EVENT SHEET 2, right click and include EVENT SHEET 1. That'd do the trick without the need to copy and duplicate code.

This does not solve my problem. I'm using the same sprites in both the layouts, and if I include an event sheet completely, the sprite effects also apply to the sprites in the new layout. – Yasser Zubair May 15 '15 at 01:32
Create an event sheet with just the code you need and import it in both event sheets. – Rafael Cavalcante Paulino May 22 '15 at 21:44

It's an old question, but I believe the answer has to do with a confusing aspect of Construct 2's UI.

In each event row depending on where you click you can select the Condition, the Actions, or the entire Event.

It sound like just the conditions were selected, shift-click to select all of them, and then when pasted, they were all inserted as the Conditions to a new Event.

What you want instead is to click just to the left of the Condition and you will see the entire row (Event) highlighted instead of just the Condition.

Copy and past that and the conditions will stay separated.
