I've done this before, only with a warthog (I have duplicated a warthog, spawned it, and gave it a different skin than the other warthogs).

Ok, to give the duplicated ghost a different skin than the other ghosts, you would need to duplicate the ghosts hlmt, mode, shader, and bitmap.

So, it would be like this:

[vehi]
[hlmt]
[mode]
[shader]
[bitmap]

I think I said this already, but Entity has a recurisvly Duplicate feature.

k my friends this is what ya do. Dupe your ghost.vehi, ghost.hlmt, ghost.mode and ghost_metal.shad. Then if ya want a brand new skin then inject it into your map that you are working with. Assign ghost.hlmt to ghost.vehi and assign ghost.mode to the hlmt. then go to your mode and assign the new shader. then go to the shader and swap out the ghost bitmap with the new bitmap that has your new skin. Simple as making a wedding cake...hmmm

actually if we can find out a little more about the shader tag it will be possable to just add a few chunks to make it variation based bitm change.

i known recurisvly duplicate, but after duplication im need to know what exactly must re-link

duplicated
[vehi]
[hlmt]
[mode]
[bitm] only objects\vehicles\ghost\bitmaps\ghost (and internalized)
[shad] only objects\vehicles\ghost\shaders\ghost_metal
