It's scriptable,but very hard to script.
ZeObot made real portals (you can see through them) and said that he can make a mirror.

you can script a mirror brick. simply set up a huge amount of .2x.2x.2 bricks stuck together, have them all raycast in a direction and have them change color to whatever the rays hit. it lags, but it gets the job done.

@RoAnt

Actually, it is.
If you know scripting very well.
I already have a theory of scripting a mirror, but I'm just not that high level of scripting yet, anyways:

It should CFrame bricks/rays on the mirror to what is in front of it. Like, if there is a brick, you put it right in front of the mirror, a very very thin brick would be CFramed into the mirror, so you can see the brick, but it would be really hard, and, VERY VERY LAGGY.

Because for diagonal objects, you need to CFrame super-tiny bricks for each pixel. That's pretty hard.

And, to know which objects should be CFramed into the mirror, use the
findPartsInRegion3() thing, and make the region in front of the mirror OR, use raycasting to make rays shoot out of the mirror and scan for bricks in front of it, and once one of the rays makes contact, it then transfers the data of the bricks to the main script and then it starts CFraming the brick to the mirror. What I mean to data is, material, color, transparency, position, etc.

In theory that should work, but yea, too hard lol.

Support.

Scriptable, but very complex. Support. Mirrors do need dynamic lighting to work best though. *hint hint*

@Candymaniac

Are you talking about a script that clones a character, or a brick to the mirror?
I was talking about you can't script a brick to a mirror, making it 2d form to the mirror.

@alex
I tried your idea... it lags, and it didn't show any reflectancy of me.



If you could prove me wrong about scripting a mirror then show me... don't tell me here. SHOW ME.

@ alex. if u did that you couldnt see the right reflection at different angles. Also real portals are more than just room clones, they have rotation which is impossible to script with standard scripting methods. I had to invent my own scripting.

It may be scriptable, but the majority of ROBLOX can't script. Not to mention, several scripters REFUSE to script for others.

I support.

This is scriptable, difficult, but possible.
Although having a mirror brick would take away the challenge of making a mirror, A brick made by ROBLOX would probably be much better quality then one made by scripters, simply because ROBLOX would have more than just Lua to make them.

So I support, but only because ROBLOX could probably make a better quality version.

instead of wasting time with an ultra laggy experimental script roblox could implement real reflections as a new feature :https://youtu.be/ccUlxtoSydg?t=10s

this video shows real reflections but the creator seems to have the same brain damage as other humans on this f..cking planet so he wont share these reflections wich are maybe produced by a script!!!!

but so is ask you st..id humans what is your f...cking problem that you wont share such things with other people??!!! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM !!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!??????????
