ROBLOX is more than capable of making mirrors a possibility, especially considering it technically exists with the terrain water, on high graphics you can see your own reflection in it. So I'm suggesting they should have a new AdvancedObject class that can be added into parts that make it so your reflection is able to be seen in those said parts. (It should also have little features within its properties like an opacity or a range where you can control how strong the mirror effect is.)

^ Or at least just have it so humanoids (not the entire place) are seen in the mirror, good enough for me and I'm sure everyone else lol.

I agree with this. Right now, we have to do what Super Mario 64 does (Basically make an entire duplicate of the area and character.) Maybe that's what they are stumped on is making something that doesn't duplicate an entire area to reduce lag. They should plan on this since they are ready R+://571844059 https://www.roblox.com/Ennard-item?id=569889668

yeah I figured lag would be the problem, but it could be a graphics 10 feature maybe? sort of like the reflection seen in terrain water.

we should be able to connect viewpoints too for example you have a portal and you can see whats on the other side or you have a computer with a camera and you can see whats on the camera without having to change your viewpoint.

Wouldn't it be scriptable?

@mineplex23213 It is scriptable but in order for it be considered a mirror, it cannot be a duplicate of your character or an area. It has to be specifically reflected which only Roblox has access to the engine to even do something like that. Roblox is currently close to doing something like this as shown in a Hack Week video on YouTube if you look it up. It's going to take a while to do this but I believe it's possible R+://571844059 https://www.roblox.com/Ennard-item?id=569889668

ugh i hate when people say 'its scriptable', practically ANYTHING is scriptable, but if it were an official ROBLOX feature a dozen more games would include them and this would generally enhance gameplay on roblox.
