Yes, that only works on things like floors and water, but I'm trying to create a mirror.

I will search their forum, thanks.

The tutorial on Interlopers doesn't work? did you download their example map? I mean, I haven't tried it myself, but I do know it only works on horizontal surfaces, so for example you couldn't use it on walls. I think there might be an alternative way on editlife's forum, but I can't look right now.

Well, the first method is specifically for Counter-Strike: Source and after experimenting, the latter doesn't work for mirrors. Is there any other way to create a mirror in Half life 2?

Allright, cheers.

Yea, I already posted two other links just 7 posts up for other methods to try and implement the same effect in older Source games.

Would you know how to recreate the same effect for normal half life 2?

that entity is only available in the orange box version of Source

So, does this work in Half-Life 2 or only in the orange box version? Normal half life 2 doesn't seem to contain a texture called 'reflectiveglass001'.

Not that I can recall. Na, I don't think it's in EP2. -but you know Valve, they always add a few entities in for legacy support and they may not use some in the long run, but they leave 'em in anyway so that modders can mess around with them

ive not yet seen it work like a moniter would every time ive seen reflective glass it looks like a shiny material that has a 100% reflection of what the nearest cubemap is.
ive never seen one reflect moving objects(players,props,...etc).

however when i did see it i was in shock and wondered when they added it.

but since it was added for orangebox is it used anywhere in ep2?
