GameObject / Duplicate

Duplicate GameObjects in opened Prefab or in a Scene. Use 'gameobject-find' tool to find the target GameObjects first.

Inputs

gameObjectRefs — GameObjectRefList of source GameObjects.

Behavior

Resolves every input ref on the main thread (throwing on any unresolved entry to keep the batch atomic). Sets Selection.entityIds/instanceIDs to the sources and invokes Unsupported.DuplicateGameObjectsUsingPasteboard() (Unity's canonical duplicate routine). Marks every distinct affected scene dirty so the duplicated objects are saved with the scene. Returns refs to the sources (the duplicates are reachable via the post-call Selection).

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-duplicate --input '{
  "gameObjectRefs": "string_value"
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-duplicate --input-file args.json
Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-duplicate --input-file - <<'EOF'
{"param": "value"}
EOF

Troubleshooting

If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead. Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
