non player character mirror

[theatrx]

This code works perfectly for the player character...

Code: ags

character[MYKAL].x=character[GetPlayerCharacter()].x;
michael_dist_from_mirror=character[GetPlayerCharacter()].y-mirrorbase;
mykal_dist_from_mirror=michael_dist_from_mirror/scale;
character[MYKAL].y=mirrorbase-mykal_dist_from_mirror;
character[MYKAL].loop=character[GetPlayerCharacter()].loop;
character[MYKAL].frame=character[GetPlayerCharacter()].frame;
}

is there a way to code this for a non playing character as in for a swan swimming on a lake?

Shouldn't it work automatically when you change all character[GetPlayerCharacter()] to another character?

Like:

Code: ags

cSwanmir.x=cSwan.x;
swan_dist_from_mirror=cSwan.y-mirrorbase;
swanmir_dist_from_mirror=swan_dist_from_mirror/scale;
cSwanmir.y=mirrorbase-swanmir_dist_from_mirror;
cSwanmir.loop=cSwan.loop;
cSwanmir.frame=cSwan.frame;
}

(with required varaibles like swan_dist_from_mirror and swanmir_dist_from_mirror defined of cause.)

Since the reflective pane is horizontal, it should be enough to set reflection.x to x and reflection.y to y-20 or something.

Thanks Gilbot and Khris.  I ended up with this...

Code: ags

if (GetGraphicalVariable("Michael Walk") == 1)	{
cMichael2.x=cMichael.x;
cMichael2.y=cMichael.y+50;
cMichael2.loop=cMichael.loop;
cMichael2.frame=cMichael.frame; 
}

I needed this to happen only when he was in a certain area.
It seemed a little cleaner but I would have never gotten to this point without your help.  I keep forgetting that just because it's not there it doesn't mean you can't make an int to make it there... duh!!!

This is like the swan thing which is happening as well and also the player character at the same.  I still can't seem to make heads or tails out of the Lake Module but I'm working on it.  Thanks again.
