you would see everything but yourself because the engine doesn't render your player character, just others. Maybe in multiplayer, but even then I don't think the character model isn't clientside until you die. So with that method, you might be able to see other players but not yourself, but I haven't tested this out yet smiley

Well, wouldn't that make everything unsymmetrical?

How do you mean? -In some cases, yes.

Unless, is there a way to invert the display of the camera?

well, since the camera has a field of view, yes it will be distorted unless looked upon exactly perpendicular to the screen. It's a hack way of simulating the effect, but it gets the idea across. Did searching Editlife bring up anything?

Editlife is empty apart from one admin who is left on the board, I did a search but there was only something about cubemaps, which is not what I want.

Well, the camera seemed like a good idea, but I've been informed that half life 2 can only use 1 camera in one map, and since i have a broken mirror with many different shards it won't be possible to create a broken mirror effect.

Well, if those shards are lying on the floor, then you could simulate their effect smiley but I'm sorry, it seems there isn't an already coded way in the game to allow for this, apart from making your own mod.

I'm working on a mod, but we don't have a programmer who could make such shaders.
