A simple mirror example?

[luxurywagon]

I've been looking around, and I just can't find an example of how to accomplish this. I would just like the mirror to mirror the character as he runs by it. I tried making a lens object but that just reflected the background >.<. It's probably super simple.. I just can't conceive the solution... any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

It would help to see how your game is viewed. If it is side on (like a platformer) then you could just duplicate the player sprite and display it behind a mirror with the glass cut out.

yup 2d platformer. the mirror is an active object.

You could also revamp that tricky viewport thing
although it could be a little underused for just this effect...
and you can't have the player overlap the mirror, as he must be behind viewport object Z-position.

See example: mirror_mirror.mfa
