How do i make a mirror?

#1

Yes i know theres plenty of tutorials on how to make one. But the issue is those use Viewport Frames. I want to make clones of the parts infront of the mirror, and put them on the other side. Issue is im now sure how to invert a CFrame to where left, right, up, and down are the same, but forward and backwards is the opposite. Any help?

you can just put a - infront of the value this will invert it

so let’s say you have the Original CFrame local originalCFrame = part.CFrame you can just do local mirroredvalue = -originalCFrame.LookVector

This will store an inverted value inside of “mirroredvalue” that you can then use for the new CFrame

wouldnt this invert everything? even the up down left and right?

#4

you have the original values stored inside of the originalCFrame variable so you could do something like

local originalCFrame = part.CFrame
local right = originalCFrame.RightVector
local mirrored = -originalCFrame.LookVector

local mirroredCFrame = CFrame.fromMatrix(right, mirrored)

This way “right” will be the original value and “mirror” will be an inverted value
