logic_mirror_movement.cpp

logic_mirror_movement is a point entity available in Mapbase Mapbase and Strata Source Strata Source. It is also available on the code of the Source 2013 SDK, however it does not function by default. It mirrors an entity's movement to another entity.

Icon-Bug.pngBug:While this entity is available in the Source 2013 code, Valve forgot to add the 🖿server/logic_mirror_movement.cpp file to the VPC! Hence it is unavailable in every game, except for Mapbase and Portal 2: Community Edition. To enable it in your own mod, add this .cpp file in your mod's VPC. You will also need to add an FGD definition, such as the one provided below.  [todo tested in?]
