[JW Lua] Copying Percussion Layouts

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

I think the issue is that the name of the new percussion map isn't 
saved. I need to add a method to save that name.

Btw, the LoadAllForItem() in your example is not necessary, since the 
SaveDataAs() method copies without relying on existing data.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
