ReflectionProbes Issues

How exactly the ReflectionProbes Node work?

What do you need to know? Which problems are you running into? Which Godot version and rendering backend are you using? We have very little information to work with here.

It's kind of a broad topic, but the general idea is that you define a space that will be used to capture a cube map (like a sky box) which with either be captured once at start or continuously (though usually you only want to capture once because they can be slow). Then the reflections on objects will look into the cube map to produce a reflection. You can read more here:

I trying to make reflections, but i dont know if i need a "reflection texture", or other way to use the ReflectionProbe for make reflections for some objects (like reflective ground and metalic surfaces) Im using GLES2 and Godot 3.3.4/3.4.2

Yes, but... its my first time trying to do this in godot (add my english is so bad), im a little bit confuse with the docs link

So create the ReflectionProbe node. Set the extents (the box size) to the general size of the room. It works best on rectangular sized rooms. Set Interior to true if it is inside a building or room. If it is outdoors and you want the sky reflected, then leave Interior off. On your material, make sure it is reflective. You can do this by setting Roughness to a low value like 0.2. You can also make Metallic higher like 0.8. This should be all you need.
