Description

A mirror worn by an avatar is not reflective when worn (wear). If mirror object is dropped avatar has to teleport away and back (or login out and in) to see reflective properites.

Reproduction steps

1. Create a mirror
2. Have User A wear the mirror in a way where the reflection could be seen by another avatar (chest)
3. Have User B login or teleport in and check for the reflection.

Expected: User B should see the reflection.

Actual: User B does not see the reflection. If User A drops the mirror the reflection is still not visible to User A or User B until they teleport away and back or logout and login.

Needs more information. Is the mirror that is worn the reflective surface or the mirror probe? A few issues here:

• Reflection probes (and therefore Mirror probes) should never be worn so this will never work. Expected behavior.
• An attached reflective surface that walks into a mirror probe area of effect should work.
• Detaching a reflective surface, not being a working mirror until teleporting away and back IS a bug.

@kylelinden In this case Mirror = Prim + reflection probe linked together.

• How do users know that it won't be reflective when worn? In the second part - Avatar wears the mirror as a means of moving it from one place to another.

Dropping the mirror, there is no reflection for the avatar unless the avatar teleports away and comes back or logs out and logs back in. Another way it becomes reflective again is if it is edited (moved for example.)
