Description:
MIL_Mirror allows a mission maker to add a mirror-type effect to an object capable of using setObjectTexture.


Installation / Usage:
For usage instructions and information of how to use the MIL Mirror please refer to the included documentation and/or example mission.

- Copy the file MIL_Mirror.sqf into your mission directory.
- Place your intended mirror object (e.g. a whiteboard - "Land_MapBoard_01_Wall_F") and name it.
- Add this line to the object's Init field in the mission editor:

_mirror setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,256,256,1)r2t(_surface,1)"];-/code]
- _mirror - object
          - the name you give to the object in the editor
- _surface - name given to the surface
- Example: [code]mirror1 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,256,256,1)r2t(mirror1surface,1)"];

- Run the script from either init.sqf or initPlayerLocal.sqf (it's local only) using:

nul = [_mirror,_surface] execVM "MIL_Mirror.sqf";

- _mirror - object
- the name you gave to the object in the editor
- _surface - string
- the string equivalent of what was used for _surface in the object's Init field in the editor

- Example:
nul = [mirror1,"mirror1surface"] execVM "MIL_Mirror.sqf";


Media:

Known issues:
- The reflection doesn't behave quite like a mirrored reflection, but it's the best I could achieve.
- Resolution is low.
- Torch beams (and probably most other light sources) aren't reflected, which is pretty obvious in the video.


Notes:
If anyone finds any problems please let me know.
