Description
A proof-of-concept for a mirror. This map was an experiment of mine in which I was trying to create a mirror. Since the mirror textures provided are flawed, I took a different approach by using just a glass wall instead of a mirror, and placing an object on both sides of the mirror. I've also demonstrated a couple of cool tricks you can do with this setup. How I did it: Mirroring the box's movement was achieved with a clever setup using a logic_measure_movement and info_targets. The wall effect was created using an invisible func_clip_vphysics with a filter for the driver cube. The button effect was created by moving the func_door and box trigger of the button to the other side of the glass and changing the trigger filter. Much credit goes to HMW who pushed me in the right direction and helped with some of the trickier implementation details. Again, this is just a concept. I may or may not make a level of my own using this, but I encourage anyone who wants to to go ahead and do so (just cite where you got it from!). Once you figure it out, it's actually very simple and quick to implement. Also, I'd love to see what other interesting things can be done with this mirror setup, so I welcome any expansions on this idea.
