Mirror in the Source engine

[TheTerraTitan]

Can the mirror be a func_breakable_surf?

[retardedmario1]

its a shame valve didnt make an official gorodon model for hl2. it would have been awsome looking at him in the mirror. XD

[tonihomi]

The Source-Engine is an epic win!

[av3nger3]

0:37..so you are a vampire?

[MEKON17]

wtf, i remember the dodgy shit people used to do to simulate a mirror. this is cool !

[automat3000]

A "meer"? ROFL! Last time I checked there was two syllables in MIRR-OR. I guess Americans can't say it probably with their accent?

[RedDotRampage]

@automat3000 And anyone from the UK is a grammar nazi, just saying...

[automat3000]

@RedDotRampage What's grammar got to do with pronunciation?

[RedDotRampage]

@automat3000 Nobody says "pronunciation nazi"

It doesn't have the same ring to it and you can probably guess what I really mean

[automat3000]

@RedDotRampage Well then don't even bring the nazis into it in the first place then.

[RedDotRampage]

@automat3000 no, as in, grammar nazi, it's commonly used on-just never-mind...

[automat3000]

@RedDotRampage Yes thank you. I know what a grammar nazi is. I was being facetious.

[vladone1223]

when your on firstperson your a vampire

[Latvietis96]

You should make a box of mirrors and put ur dude inside it :D

[HunterOfHalfLife]

I know how to create a mirror.

Step 1: Buy Portal or Portal 2.

Step 2: create a portal in portal.

Result: Ta-Dam, a mirror.

P.S use some cheats for this :D

[fourrecoil]

what all commands did you use for getting that good thirdperson?

[RaduIc3Man]

@fourrecoil "Sv_cheats 1" to enable cheats and then just type "thirdperson".

[fourrecoil]

@RaduIc3Man i mean your char is more on the left than mine, mine has a croshair in my head >:O

[RaduIc3Man]

@fourrecoil Type "cam_offset" in the console and you should get a few options to choose from.

[omnacky]

I can't find the reflective glass texture in my material library, I'm running my hammer editor off of half life 2's content and stuff, I have the valve complete pack so yea i guess i could use other ones, can you tell me where you get it or if it comes with the content?

[RaduIc3Man]

@omnacky You can find it in any other game that uses the Orange Box engine.

[addN0thing]

Thx dude, simple and very useful : )

[PowerFusionX]

Whats Synergy?

[DeadlySmash]

@PowerFusionX A COOP mode to HALF LIFE 2 (can play like 20 guys on a server)

[PowerFusionX]

@DeadlySmash :o

Some simple console commands can accomplish the same thing.

[mihai96z3d]

well portsal uses the source engine and it can make a view like in a mirror with fps so why this cant?

[vincentvanmierlo]

is halflife deathmatch a orange box game

[FunnyMcBunny]

I think the problem is that your game doesn't render you, so there is nothing for the glass to refract.

[TraNWhiZ]

And how do you make your character reflect while in first person?

[RaduIc3Man]

@TraNWhiZ You can't, that's the problem.

[CheatEnginer]

@RaduIc3Man

Yeah your model is hidden when in first person :/ I hope valve makes the first person system more realistic on future source games, for example not hiding the model and not using seperate models on first person, just placing the camera inside the players head and make moving animations realistic, and the camera movements also.

[Sevenchappels]

@RaduIc3Man You can, but not in a H-L mod

[kevlar60442]

@RaduIc3Man It shouldn't be too hard for Valve. Id pulled it off with Quale 3 11 years ago.

[0RobinHood1]

@RaduIc3Man You can if you implement a model for your character.

[PliskinNH]

@TraNWhiZ

maybe have it as a screen from a camera pointing from the same angle as the mirror?

[TraNWhiZ]

@PliskinNH That wouldn't work as a mirror.
