Hello again.
just working on a scene with some animated trees in the background and got to a new wish ...
could it be done that negative x and y scaling would mirror the entity in dependance from the value. if set to -100 it is mirrored to 100 . if -50 it is mirrored to 50 and so on
so i could make one animation for one tree and use it more often in one scene without having exact copys of it.

what do you think about it....
best regards
stucki

Perhaps a MyEntity.Mirror() attribute could be more easily readable in the scripts.

Just call Entity.Mirror everytime your scaling value reaches 0

If he wants to skale the entity linear from 100 down to 0 down to -100, then the mirror constructs need more code than the simple animation.

I would consider this addon a "useful abuse", for it can be handy in several other solutions, too.

A mirror attribute for entities would be nice. Although more complicated than it seems.
