Galv's Mirror Character Effect Plugin for MV?

[VitaliaDi]

I'm looking for a plugin available that is like Galv's Character Effects plugin, specifically for the mirror effect I'd like to make a room full of mirrors. The current script is made for RMXP and I've since switched over to MV for a fun project I'll be starting soon.

Is anyone aware of a mirror/character effect plugin similar to this that will allow for a room full of mirrors? Galv's XP version found here:

Character Effects

FEATURES This script was made to provide some additional effects for events, followers and the player on the map. Currently it has 4 effects: Lower reflections (for uses like glass floor or water),…

I've search online and in the forums to see if there is one available but haven't been able to find anything easily.

I loved that script for VX Ace and was very sad it never got ported over. There are only two plugins that I know of that do mirror reflection for MV. The first is PH- Sprite Reflection. I never tried this one out, I don't remember why. The second is Mirror Area by Biud436. I have used the second one and it works nicely for what we were doing.

Now just a thing to remember, if you are using large sprites for actors there is going to be some clipping or odd reflections going on. I believe that qualifies for both, unless PH figured that out. I believe I remember them talking about the problem in his forum.

I hope those help for what you're looking for!

Thanks for the large sprites tip I wouldn't have thought of that to begin with! I'll try out the Biud436 plugin, I looked through and it seems like he was planning on adding an actual mirror effect option but it doesn't seem like he got to it. I maybe be able to mess with tiles enough to make this work on a mirror surface while I wait to see if anyone else answers and knows about more plugins, this should work as a great backup.

Have you gotten it to work as a mirror surface, like the effect show in the first plugin while characters are facing up or does it only work well on water? Thanks That first one won't work for me because it says too many mirror will cause a ton of lag.

I'm actually confused by what your looking for now. Are you using tiles as mirrors (like what Galv had done in VXAce) and are looking for a plugin that just adds a terrain tag to the tiles? Or that the plugin handles the reflection automatically so long as a tile is semi-transparent?

That said Biud's Mirror Area does work. It reflects the actor sprites when you are facing them, walking side to side, and I suppose walking away too. You have to set up comments in an event on the map for it to work. So you can use it for mirrors, water, or whatever else. They do warn not to go too crazy as it can slow performance. I don't know how many you would have to slap down to do that so it would be interesting to know. Now, it is a little confusing to set up based on the wording. I had found a downloadable project for the plugin a long time ago. Don't remember how or where, but I did find this youtube video if that helps resolves confusion with the plugin setup.

I prefer eventing but I'll take whatever I can get to work for a mirror room, kind of like a funhouse! As long as the plugin can handle lots of mirrors at once The comments on that plugin said to be careful with how many mirrors are used at once but maybe I'll just test its limits!
