Mirror on North wall? - 05/30/09 23:20
I have some old code from AUM for mirrors and it works fine for a mirror on the South wall, which is what the code is set to do. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get them to work on the north wall though, no matter what I change in the code.
I did a search and found an old post from raiden talking about the same problem (http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=61714#Post61714), that he could get mirrors working on the south and west walls but not the north or east.
I'm using A7Pro but my code is in c-script for this project. I assume that I have to build my mirror block with the mirror surface on the south face (facing from the north) as I had to have it on the north face to work as a south wall mirror. Even so, I've tried both methods and still can't get it working on the north wall. I've changed about everything I can think of in the code below to be negative where it's positive, etc. etc. but no luck.
Can anybody tell me what line in the code below I need to use the mirror on the north wall?

Code:
VIEW mirror =
{
layer = 10;
flags = NOSHADOW | NOPARTICLE | PORTALCLIP; // suppress shadows in the mirror
}
action mirror_startup()
{
camera.portal = mirror;
while (1)
{
proc_kill(4);
mirror.genius = camera.genius;
mirror.aspect = camera.aspect;
mirror.arc = -camera.arc;
mirror.x = camera.x;
mirror.y = camera.portal_y - (abs(camera.portal_y - camera.y));
mirror.z = camera.z;
mirror.pan = -camera.pan;
mirror.tilt = camera.tilt;
mirror.roll = camera.roll;
wait(1);
}
}
