One thing you should watch out for though is that Replicate replicates Replicate !

That is to say if you had an actor and you replicated 10 copies upwards (90°), you would end up with - of course - 10 copies.

If you then added a second Replicate behaviour below the first one, set to replicate another 10 copies to the right (0°), you would end up not with 20 copies, but with 100 copies.

Of course it would be obvious enough to see with the above example, as you'd see a 10 x 10 grid of copies, but with other non-grid replicate tasks it's good to remember that the second Replicate behaviour replicates all the copies of the first Replicate, not just the original actor.

Is this another elaborate @Socks joke, inception-style? If not, it's really bizarre. How does Replicate only replicate the actor's image (none of the behaviors) UNLESS that behavior is a Replicate behavior?

Another ? I wasn't aware I'd made an previous elaborate inception-style jokes !!?

It's not replicating the behaviour, only the image.

i guess it makes some exceptions

for example display text is also cloned with the replicates

10 replicates = 10 display text

some for rotate
probably stuff that effect this very actor in its presentation are cloned

Honestly, like Hopscotch says, no rules or behaviours are replicated, only images !!! You don't end up with 10 Display Text behaviours, you just end up with 10 pieces of text.

Think of Replicate like 'tile' in an actor's Graphics setting, you can get an imported image to repeat (tile) across a single actor, but those repeats (tiles) are not duplicating the actor's behaviours or rules.
