Mirror effects (Solved)

[Pilpoilplante]

Hi everybody!

I just want to know how to make mirror effects? I mean, I have a room with a mirror, and I want the player to see the reflection of the charcater when he moves near it. Can anybody help me, please?

The reflection has to be another, identical character, and the mirror must be, in essence, a hole peeking through the other side, where the identical mirror character is. Then, have him follow. Look up the Follow() command in the manual. (I think that's what it's called.)

Ok, thanks a lot, TerranRich!
I didin't knew you could do reflextions folloings in the Follow() command

I do reflections by setting the mirror character's coords, loop and frame in the room's repeatedly_execute.

Like this:

Code: ags

  cMirror.x = player.x;
  int wall_y = 150;  // baseline of wall / mirror walk behind
  cMirror.y = wall_y - ((player.y-wall_y)*8)/10;
  cMirror.Frame = player.Frame;
  int l = player.Loop;
  if (l == 0 || l == 3) l = 3 - l;
  cMirror.Loop = l;

Ok... I understand. Thanks!
