invalid Mirror textures on maps, reflecting energy projectiles

[Aunty_Entity 245]

I'm not sure where to post this so I'm sticking it here...

 

How about we see a texture that's a mirror, and its possible to use energy based weapons at reflections in the mirror.  Just a thought.

But what's the point? And why just energy based weapons and not all of them?

 

I can guarantee that this won't happen, since from what I heard, mirrors are really hard to code into the game so they won't be added unless really necessary or essential.

Mirrors that reflect what you see could be hard.. but surfaces that reflect a shot are fairly easy. The logic also already exists in Tanki - see Rico and Hammer.

Something different that's all.  Under the theory that projectile weapons would bend/break your mirror, where energy might reflect. Its this weeks out of left field thought.

could you elaborate on this

Whats to elaborate?  Its a mirror, you can see things in it, whether you're near or far, and energy based weapons may or may not reflect off it, so you could possibly shoot people in the reflection.
