Reflecting sphere

Introduction​

The Reflecting Sphere reflects lasers with trajectories similar to those that a "disco ball" would produce. Thus, the direction of the reflected laser depends not only on the direction of the laser when it hits the sphere, but also on where the sphere is hit.

A colored mirror can be inserted inside for custom color reflection respectively. That means it will filter color according to the color of the mirror inserted in it.

A mirror can be obtained from a mirror chest or from a mirror support that has a mirror already inserted in it.

How to place a Reflecting Sphere​

  • Open Lasers-Enigma main shortcut bar by typing the /lasers command.
  • Aim for the block on which you want to place the component. This can be on the floor, ceiling, or wall. Then right-click with the "place component" button in hand.
  • Select the Reflecting sphere.
  • Select which color you want for the reflection.
  • Now that the component is placed, the Reflecting Sphere edition shortcut bar will open and you will be able to edit the component.
