hey,

i have some problems with the mirrow flag!

i have a building with some rooms. when i set then mirror flag for any object and look at it, i see all objects which i integrated as a entity in that level instead of what i see in the mirror.

can anyone help me on that?

First I assume you are using the Pro version.

Are these mirrors on the floor or the wall.

The mirror code from office is for a floor mirror.

There's code for a vertical mirror in Aum9

Thank George for this

Q: I need some code for a vertical mirror - can you help? 
A: First of all make sure that your mirror entity won't be rotated in the level (give it the correct angles when you create it) . Here's some code for a vertical mirror that is placed on the south, with its reflective surface towards north: 

function init_vmirror(); // put init_vmirror(); in main 

view vmirror {}; 

function init_vmirror() 
{ 
      camera.portal = vmirror; 
      vmirror.noshadow = on; // suppress shadows in the mirror 
      vmirror.noparticle = on; // suppress particles in the mirror 
      vmirror.portalclip = on; // clip at portal plane 
      while (1) 
      { 
            proc_late(); // place it at the end of the function list 
            vmirror.genius = camera.genius; 
            vmirror.aspect = camera.aspect; 
            vmirror.arc = -camera.arc; 
            vmirror.fog = camera.fog; 
            vmirror.x = camera.x; 
            vmirror.y = 2 * camera.portal_y - camera.y; 
            vmirror.z = camera.z; 
            vmirror.pan = -camera.pan; 
            vmirror.tilt = camera.tilt; 
            vmirror.roll = camera.roll; 
            wait(1); 
      } 
}
