Hello Cometstar,
I think it's possible, try this script...

CODE

class Game_Event
  attr_accessor :character_name
  attr_accessor :character_hue
end

class Spriteset_Map
  def add_event(id)
    sprite = Sprite_Character.new(@viewport1, $game_map.events[id])
    @character_sprites.push(sprite)
  end
end

class Scene_Map
  attr_reader :spriteset
end

class Game_Map
  def copy_event(id,x,y,char_name=nil,char_hue=nil)
    if $game_map.events[id] == nil
      return -1
    end
    event = $game_map.events[id].clone
    event.moveto(x,y)
    if char_name != nil
    event.character_name = char_name
    end
    if char_hue != nil
    event.character_hue  = char_hue
    end
    index = $game_map.events.keys.size
    $game_map.events[index+1] = event
    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
      $scene.spriteset.add_event(index+1)
    end
    return true
  end
end

Call it from script writing

CODE

$game_map.copy_event(id,x,y,char_name,char_hue)

where:
-id is the id of the event you want to copy;
-x and y are the new coordinates;
-char_name and char_hue are what their name say and can be left blank.

For example,

$game_map.copy_event(1,5,7)

creates a copy of Event #1 and places it into coordinates (5,7).

I've not made a complete debug yet, please report any bugs...

N.B. It works ONLY in Scene_Map and in this state doesn't save the new event. If you exit the game and resume it again, the new event will disappear...

####
EDIT: actually, you can use this script anywhere, but once you leave the map, events will be reset...
It seems working quite well, although...
Please, let me know if it works...

Thank you for this replay
it is very good, and it's exactly what I want, but I need also to change graphic of the event and specify a new graphic
I'll try it later....
Thank you

Thank you

Actually the script allows you to change graphics...
Just set the new character name and character hue in the arguments...
Maybe I wrote it in wrong words...
I meant this...

CODE

$game_map.copy_event(id,x,y,new_char_name,new_char_hue)
