don't use mirror it copys all entitys and rotates them 180 degrees. use cameraviewport and a second cam pointing backwards. http://blitzbasic.com/b3ddocs/command.php?name=CameraViewport&ref=3d_cat .this also solves the splitscreen question posted above.

Cameraviewport with a second cam pointing backwards will make a mirror which is visually incorrect, ie. flipped right to left. The proper way to create a mirror, is to place a camera pointing backwards and then copyrect the render to a texture(with texturecoords flipped in the horizontal plane) and texture a mesh in front of the forward looking camera. http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1524

Had me from ages when i was picking up blitz. Remember and set the cameraviewport to your texture size and then render :o) That way you copy everything the camera can see.
