+## Better Reflection System
+
+### Process
+1. Find `PlayerStep` in `src/field_player_avatar.c`
+2. add this function above it:
+```c
+static void TryHidePlayerReflection(void)
+{
+    if (gObjectEvents[gPlayerAvatar.objectEventId].hasReflection) {
+        s16 x, y;
+        struct ObjectEvent *playerObjEvent = &gObjectEvents[gPlayerAvatar.objectEventId];
+        x = playerObjEvent->currentCoords.x;
+        y = playerObjEvent->currentCoords.y;
+        MoveCoords(DIR_SOUTH, &x, &y);
+        if (!MetatileBehavior_IsReflective(MapGridGetMetatileBehaviorAt(x, y)))
+            playerObjEvent->hideReflection = TRUE;
+        else 
+            playerObjEvent->hideReflection = FALSE;
+    }
+}
+```
+3. Now change the function to this:
+```c
+void PlayerStep(u8 direction, u16 newKeys, u16 heldKeys)
+{
+    struct ObjectEvent *playerObjEvent = &gObjectEvents[gPlayerAvatar.objectEventId];
+
+    HideShowWarpArrow(playerObjEvent);
+    if (gPlayerAvatar.preventStep == FALSE)
+    {
+        TryHidePlayerReflection();
+        Bike_TryAcroBikeHistoryUpdate(newKeys, heldKeys);
+        if (TryInterruptObjectEventSpecialAnim(playerObjEvent, direction) == 0)
+        {
+            npc_clear_strange_bits(playerObjEvent);
+            DoPlayerAvatarTransition();
+            if (TryDoMetatileBehaviorForcedMovement() == 0)
+            {
+                MovePlayerAvatarUsingKeypadInput(direction, newKeys, heldKeys);
+                PlayerAllowForcedMovementIfMovingSameDirection();
+            }
+
+            TryHidePlayerReflection();
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You're done!
