I was wondering if there is any remotely possible way to create mirrors and/or reflection|refraction. Thanx.

As a flag, no; "remotely", yes.
It is possible to create artificial surface reflection effects by creating a duplicate of a (sector/object), and placing it the opposite direction on top of the original, with a transparent surface inbetween the two.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to reflect actors, unless you spend several hours cogging a reflect script like me... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/mad.gif]

WHY DID LUCASARTS NOT ALLOW THIS? I wish I knew.

Im just a rookie but was wondering why you wouldnt be able to put a camera and just put a screen where you want your mirror to be? Thought I had seen something similar in a level before but maybe not. Good luck. chevroletc1070

I don't think you ever saw anything like that. There's no way (I know of) to display what a camera sees on a surface.

The only way anyone has come up with to simulate mirrors is the trick The Zelda TC talked about.
