Author Topic: Mirror Bricks  (Read 1875 times)

i think it would be awesome if there were mirror bricks that would reflect its surroundings

(elephant player types and round baseplates would be awesome too)

We used to have a mirror addon, but it was basically broken.

People say that this can be done, but wont be, because its buggy and would lag a lot.

At what cost?


Depending on how the shadows & shaders update goes, it may be possible.

Kompressor posted on the S&S Topic that mirrors are NOT coming in game as the sheer amount of lag would be unbearable from the average player, Imagine having a 100k build on a computer that's lagging from it - Then putting one of these mirror bricks down, It'd have to render the whole game again so it reflects it or something like that

evented mirrors are easy

so is an evented time machine

Show an evented mirror

There could be a check to make sure that there's no mirror brick reflecting it and would not let you place the brick if it were.
It could also do a thing that they did with the portals in Portal where it only reflects the mirrors five times or something (or not reflect them at all).

what if it only ghosted the bricks that it could see, or perhaps ones within a radius around it?

so you dont mirror the ENTIRE build
