Hello i have fps creator x10 and i need to create a room with a laser that aims to a mirror and it reflects to another position

Incoming ray angle = Reflected Ray angle
that's the physical formula ?

I will explain

My teacher wants me to do that for an exam, i need to have a character that can shoot a laser , not exactly a character ,but i must show how the laser bounce against the mirror please it's urgent , for October 7

FPSC won't let you reflect the ray via the normal, (a line perpendicular to the face of the mirror)...

You'll probably need to get DBP and program it yourself or something...

I suppose one good thing about FPS Creator is that it really encourages users to exercise ingenuity; and come up with alternative methods to all of the limitations that are out there;

Make the laser 'gun' a stationary entity, and the laser beams dynamic entities that spawn when the player walks up to the laser gun and presses a key.

So.. what should i do?..
I just need to prove the refraction, the laser refracts against the mirror or surface

i think your teacher is asking a lot of you, and if he does know the software then he is def asking a lot and giving an impossible task unless you were taught how to code source code. and if he does not know the software then he is a bad teacher for asking someone to do something that he himself knows nothing about.

i think he wants you to sort his game making problems out for him (clever man)
it would have to be coded in source code, as its a physics matter, and the physics for light reflection of a forever moving active bullit would need more than a script or get around, as i think with exams and all they want a proper moving correct and accurate reflective angle shooting lazer, which is not available on x9 or x10. to my knowledge anyway

but kravenwolfs idea works but it is a cheat i think and not a real reflective shot ( maybe im wrong ) also you cant move the gun i believe either ,i may be wrong on that too, but teachers are known to want to know how it was done, and it may pass or may not pass. so i suggest you get a plan b too.

can get mirrors and guns on tgc store which is on your x10 editor interface.

well done kravenwolf

an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of game creation!!!

Mmm i don't understand how to do what Kravenwolf says.

But, even if it's isn't true refraction, it would be ok, i mean, an animation, just imagine that the teacher must see something similar to refraction.

Plus i can't spend money, i bought a 90 dollars 2gb ram memory ddr2 800

you got ram scammed.

take back get this, http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104098

ontopic.

FPSC x10 won't do this unless you add in support or politely ask(Bribe) the maker of whatever that x10 mod is to do it for you.
