Mirrors?

[Gillispie]

i was wondering if there was any way that I could make mirrors that will actually show the reflection of players and NPCs that pass by them in my game.

Probably not.
But don't listen to me.

Actually, this would be very hard and very frustrating, but possible!  Ok, first off, you need to learn how to use this:
Call SetTile( mapper, x, y, xset, yset, tileset, layer), it is pretty easy BUT you will have to have two mirrors, one with a person in it, and one with no person in it. Now, you need to start the scripting, first, at the foot of the mirror, put a scripted tile that contains this script to set the tile to the mirror with a reflection and in the squares around it, you have to put a scripted tile that changes the mirror back!  This may seem hard, but, the more simple you want it to be, the easier it will get, try something like this:
Case #
Call SetTile( Map#, MapX, MapY, Xset, Yset, Tileset#, layer) Layer: 1 for ground, 2 for mask, 4 for mask 2, I think you get it
and then the tiles around it, the same thing but change the variables to change it back, I may have just confused you to death, but if I helped, then Good!!

thats not how I'd do it.
There is a command called "bitblt" that copies pixels from one surface and pastes them onto another surface. Basically, just add onto the end of the main loop a check for that map and do a bitblt copy

uh, I never new about this… that could be very usefull and is way better than my method

[Gillispie]

thanks and
how do i use the "bitblt" command

It's sourced… HM don't be giving source solutions to questions in teh scripting board unless completely necessary... please...

It's hard to do it in source, needs lots of editing and getting it to work.
