:On that I agree. For the client side it could be an option to have it set from preferences (Use mirrors on/off). On the server side it can be optimised a lot. Not scalable? Maybe.

This function creates a new camera view inworld or outworld, depending on the function arguments. Outworld - create a window in which you can look the other way, or keep an eye on your home. Inworld - create a square object which will be alligned and attached to another object. This square works like a tv-set, but the image is controlled by the newly created camera. This way it's possible to implement mirrors and reflecting surfaces.
Please comment on this idea. I think it can be implemented fully client side, so performance is not influenced much.
