We already know what's a mirror.

Think of it, like for builders they have something for their bathroom mirrors or like a mirror gear that you can see for yourself and much more to do with it... You know what I mean.

Also with dynamic lightning, light source going directly to it causing a deflection.

It's a small thing to implement. I'd still be satisfied if our reflections would be low resolution and has draw distant limit.

This is actually scriptable, but to be honest, I think Roblox should have a mirror block.

If you want a mirror, just script a mirror block. I am positive it has been scripted before in the many years of Roblox. Instead of asking ROBLOX to do it just do it yourself because you will need a million supporters for one suggestion to happen. might as well do it yourself instead of do the rigorous task of asking a multi-billionaire company to do it.

Also @ HAMIDLO3
Do you want a stupid ass free update or do you actually want to create scripts for everyone instead?
I assure you, you bringing up "oh you can script it" doesn't solve anything.

Until you link us a script that actually works, you bringing up "you can script anything!"
then please. shut up.

@Emp

Yeah, it's scriptable, but it'd be simple for Roblox to make as a normal brick. Somethings warrant the "scriptable" response, but for something like a common mirror, it should be a regular brick option. It would actually give the reflectance property purpose.

Yeah.

Sure, it is "scriptable", but it is slow, and inaccurate. It would be far easier for an official mirror feature to be implemented, instead of doing it the slow and hacky way.

This is scriptable. But it will take hours to code.. And will never be precisely accurate. So support

I have no knowledge of Scripting since the day I joined Roblox.

A small game company can do mirrors.

I appreciate for those people who supported.

Anyways.. Yesterday's Bump.

The higher quality a scripted mirror is, the more lag it creates. My most efficient "camera" script I've made, which works in a very similar way and takes a 15x15 pixel image of whatever is in front of it each second, takes up 2% of the CPU power. Now if I make that image update each second so it doesn't look laggy, then it takes up approximately 30% of the CPU. And that's for 225 pixels. A high-resolution mirror would lag out the game. Scripting it isn't a good choice unless you like having lag.

Support. Maybe a quality option for the player would be good for those with bad computers.

I'm a bit torn here.

On a personal side, I like everything to be easy. It would be nice if roblox added a mirror block or a mirror property to a block to make life 100 times easier when I want to make a game, and I support.

On a logical side, I like everything how it is. Someone's probably already made a mirror in the past, and yes, it is scriptable, so I don't support.

You sir. Are stupid.
Please provide the script if you think it's scriptable.
Are there any good free mirrors?
No.

Mirrors are scriptable. I am no idiot for telling you a fact. I cannot provide you a script because people don't go through the trouble of making a mirror script and thinking "Let me send this out to a bunch of ungrateful 9 year olds"

As far as someone who will probably say "That's not what I mean", I hope you know that roblox does not have a reasonable way of reflecting light at all and every vector, so unless you want to go ask the engineers to do it and have them say "This is going to take 5 years", then shut up and stop complaining. :D

That game. Was very buggy. I'm never going to play that game again.

What's better than a free update for mirrors?
A free update.

I can make mirrors work like that, you just have to script it.

Saying "Scriptable" "Oh you can script it" and "Learn to script" ain't gonna help it, even it's a small thing to do and takes a lot of time making a reflecting block with your reflection in it.

exactly.
And mirrors aren't even hard. Crappy small company games have mirrors and I don't see why roblox can't have mirrors.
