So I did a search and found conflicting answers from two of the more reputable people aound here, and was wondering if it is possible. It has been some time since it was disscussed and I imagine there may have been progress on the topic.

Quake 3 has a mirror texture but I couldn't get it to work in mohaa

Actually I think Ritualistic broke it somehow by introducing skyportals

Don't mirrors go back away's, like I recall them in Duke Nukem!
You walk in a bathroom and look at the mirror, and its a perfect
reflection of you, The first time I filled the mirror with lead...lol.

lol, i think in games with mirrors in we've all shot it the 1st time without realising we've just shot ourselves,

also tried the mirror texture from Q3 and many lines of code involved with it,

even tried to get a shader to show the image on a brush as the player was seeing it... did this work you ask... nope...

then tried spawning another ai model, that would show the image through his eyes on the wall, had a bit more luck with this but didn't really get far enough for it to be accomplishable, so the answer as for now... is no
