selecting and moving clones individually

So I'll explain my question as best I can...

I'm trying to make actors that are clones of each other, but can be individually selected to move. Something like in a strategy game like War craft where you have peons that are the same thing (clones) but can be created separately and controlled separately (but can do all the same actions). I've tried a ton of different ways but my scripting ability is pretty beginner. On that note, can someone tell me what the ampersand (&) character is for?

You'll need to use GetClone or, preferably, GetClone2. Then you can alter various attributes of each clone. GetClone2 is an extra bit of code though. There's a link to it and an explanation in this thread.

It's a little technical but is invaluable if you really want to use the power of clones.
