Lets say I have a 2d plain with graphics scrolling on it. How would I be able to mirror that, but not in the full mirror sense.

Lets say I look to my left and to my right and see the exact same thing. Does anyone understand what my brain does not?

take photoshop or some other graphics program, mirror your texture and take one texture for the one plane and the mirrored texture for the other plain.
but that's too easy, you can't mean that

No.

How are you getting the input for this scrolling graphics? Is it the output from a camera or an animation playing?

You might be able to render the graphics to an offscreen location, then each frame use GET IMAGE to capture the data to an image and texture the 2 plains on screen with the image.

You need to explain in more detail what you are doing, ie. where the scrolling graphics are coming from.

NOBODY has a forum name as stupid as Darth Shader. I do.

Use multiple cameras! Find the offset angle between the main camera and the mirror camera, and then point the output to an image, and texture the mirrorobject. I have a snippet at home, I can e-mail it too you when I get home.

K, I'll post in the Code-Snippet board later. I've been away from home a couple of days, you see.
