Instructions

Let's start with opening up a graphical program and opening your used tileset in it.
I used The Gimp 2.6 and tileset Castle In becouse the gimp is freeware and easy to work with and the Castle In tileset has a nice, big mirror in it.

Open up gimp and open your tileset.
Step 1
Spoiler: ShowHide

Select the back wall you want to use and copy it.



Step 2
Spoiler: ShowHide

Paste the wall twice in an open place u can use, and then select and copy the mirror u want to use.



Step 3
Spoiler: ShowHide

Then paste the mirror on the wall and start selecting the inner mirror part and copy it.



Step 4
Spoiler: ShowHide

Delete the Inner mirror part and paste it back, then lower the opacity of the part. Now save the made tileset, close gimp and import the tileset in RMXP.



Step 5
Spoiler: ShowHide

Now open up the database and go to tilesets. Set 1 empty passable tile and 1 empty impassible tile. also set the priority of the made wall-mirror like shown benieth.



Step 6
Spoiler: ShowHide

Now make a map. The map's heigth has to be twice as tall as the height u want the passable part of the map to be. Then make a nice map on the lower half of the map. Also place the black wall autotile on the second layer and not on the third. Then set a starting position and place a event with thesame graphic as your player. Place the event on the opposite side of the map. To know where to place it look at the example here.



Step 7
Spoiler: ShowHide

Now use any tile of your tileset and sketch a mirror of the passability of the lower part of the map. Make sure to place this on the third layer. Then fill the passable and impassable places with the passable and impassable tiles, previously set up in the tileset. Also make a mirror of the lower part on the first layer.



Step 8
Spoiler: ShowHide

Now make a Autorun event in the upper-left corner of the map and make this in the event :



Final Step
Spoiler: ShowHide

Now playtest, and report any bugs here. ^^

Author's Notes

This won't work with any other things that change the player's graphic.
Have fun ^^

Things I Hate

1. People who point at their wrist asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their a** to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn Right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film, "did ya see that?" No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor!

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"... Didn't give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

This looks like a really good system. I just have one small thing to add to it.

A lot of charsets aren't symmetrical. If this is the case, the event will need a different graphic, or it won't look like a mirror image. To create the proper charset, first individually flip each character image (of which there are 16) horizontally. Then just switch the individual graphics for left and right. Save this new graphic and use it for the event behind the mirror.
I know, it's not exactly difficult to figure out, but some people might not think of it, or might not be able to figure out how to flip everything without a lot of confusion.

Add it to the tutorial if you want, or don't bother. Just thought I'd point it out. :P

element

I already thought of that, yes.

But its more like a add-on to the system than the actual system.

Maybe i'll ad how to do that later.

Holyrapid

My norton fucking deleted the demo i downloaded from the original post... When this trial runs out, i'm switching to f-secure...
Trying to download from rapidshare, and will give my judgement later...
