==== Creating Mirrors ====


We know Amnesia doesn't **have/support** mirrors, but since water planes can reflect things, we can simulate one.


Remember it's a simulation, it won't be perfect. \\ 
This is how it looks in my mod  [[http://www.moddb.com/mods/el-fantasma/images/a-bathroom|LINK]] \\ 
It's the best I could achieve. (feel free to test and try to improve it)


**How to create the mirror:** 


1. Get the texture [[http://www.moddb.com/mods/down-the-rabbit-hole/addons/amnesia-water-mirror|LINK]]\\ 
2. Create a plane with 0 1 0 __Tile Amount__ using **Amn_WaterMirror_001.mat****.\\ 
** 3. Create a second plane with **Plane_Black.mat **__behind __ the previous mirror plane.\\ 
4. It's ready. Put it wherever you want having in mind the following precautions.


**Precautions:** 


1. Avoid having mirrors looking at each other, they lag and glitch.\\ 
2. The mirror __is sensitive to what it's reflecting__, so avoid gaps between planes and any hard-to-reflect stuff.\\ 
3. Avoid having the player watching the mirror from strange/wide angles.\\ 
4. And last, consider moving the mirror to another angle/location if it refuses to work properly there.


**Extra Info** 


- The black plane behind is to stop the transparency of the mirror.\\ 
- The tile amount 0 1 0 removes a weird thing water textures have.


\\ 
That's all. If you feel like experimenting, try the mirror material on other models/objects for weird results.
