Help with Glass

Help trying to make glass with a background is this possible just to make it transparent
but with a glassy look.

Thanks

While I am asking how can I make a mirror for characters?
Not too sure if this is the correct place to ask this question.

I'm not 100% sure about what you're asking about glass.

And, you can make a mirror for characters, but I don't think it would be easy. You'd need to draw the mirror, and what it's reflecting in the background image. Then at run-time, create a drawing surface, and draw the player's current graphic on to it, wherever his reflection may be.

I am asking If i had 2 glass windows could I make a gray transparent look of the glass. Its
just to see through the glass a bit like layers one layer glass and one of the background with the character.

I hope i make sense? I know I am bad at explaining things :

If you make the glass an object, you can set the object.Transparency. Or, if you game is in 32-bit you can set the transparency in your graphics program (if it's capable of it).

If you didn't already, create the room's "Enters screen before fadein" event (see part3 of the helpfile's tutorial on how to add events).
In there, i.e. between { and }, put

Code: ags

  oWindow1.Transparency = 50;

(Assuming that the object has the name "oWindow1".)
