Can someone post an example wad of a working reflective floor? I can't seem to get it working at all.

If you're setting the special to a line, it won't show up until the line is triggered. Use Sector_SetPlaneReflection in an OPEN script instead.

Stupid question: Are you using 0.9.19?

Indeed. I can get it working in other sectors, just not this one... BLASTPHEMY

Edit: No wait, it seems to happen in every sector on this wad. Is there something in mapinfo or anything else that could prevent it?

Could you post the WAD? The feature is new so some problems wouldn't be too surprising.

Afraid not, it's eatme.wad again :(. I'm trying to get the same effect in another wad as we speak.

I'm guessing this is because of this bug. Case closed I guess.

That was problems with skyboxes interacting with reflective floors.

So if there was a skybox in the level, reflective floors break?

Or do you mean if there's a reflective floor under a sky with a skybox it breaks?

If option 2 - Case opened :x

If part of a skybox was visible in a reflective floor it didn't display properly. I can't say how severe the effect was because the test level I got had the reflective floor under a sky.


Just disable the skybox and see what happens. If it still doesn't work it's something different.
