  you could spawn a copy of the sprite, and then set its width to the original sprite's width x -1 to get a mirror image.

  but I guess it depends on where the mirror is placed. if the original sprite is supposed to be facing the mirror, does the player see the sprites back? or side? the mirror might have to reflect a different perspective from what the player sees to make sense...

  here is a quick sample...

  I will be out for a while, but could take a look at your file later if you post it here.

  that trigger once in the loop doesn't do anything, so it is creating new minimap objects for each obj_Ore1 on every tick... which will very quickly create thousands and thousands of objects.

  what you might want to do is give the obj_Ore1 an instance variable that holds the UID of the minimap object assoiciated with it (and do the same for any other objects that need to appear on the minimap), then create the minimap object whenever you create a new object and store the minimap version's UID so you can pick it and update it as needed.

  another way would be to make the obj_Ore1 a container so that the minimap object gets automatically created and associated (picked) with its parent object.

  run it in debug mode, and keep an eye on how many objects there are, how many collision checks, etc...

  you may have enemies or bullets building up over time off screen.

  if you are updating those variables every tick, then that will be happening 60 times a second.

  Your math looks fine, so it is probably running more times than you expect. We would have to see your code to be able to help more.

  there are a number of ways to limit its movement...

  the easiest might be to put an invisible sprite at the edges of where you want, and if the rabbit hits the sprite, have it reverse its direction.

  a great deal of work!

  the wikipedia article for Ori says that they had a team of 80 people, and it took 4 years to develop, so that is 320 man years of development. Very skilled and experienced programmers, artists, musicians, level designers, writers, etc...

  and a lot of testing, and using every tick imaginable to make it work!

  for them to be able to do anything about it, you should make a minimal project replicating the error and submit it as bug report.

  I don't think there is an easy way - unless someone has made a plugin to do that.
