breakable windows...how?

[romanb]

hey guys, I've made a window, it'll break like in 1.6 or CZ, but it won't break like the ones in office. Can anyone tell me how?

 

[GonzoBabbleshit]

I can't remember which it is...func_breakable or func_breakable_surf....It's obviously not the one you're using so you should know which one!

It has to be cover on all sides except one with the 'nodraw' texture.

Make a brush covered in nodraw, select the side you want to have the glass on it, get a glass texture and apply it, tie it to func_breakable_surf

 

[romanb]

didn't work... what do you mean by make a brush in nodraw...

 

[GonzoBabbleshit]

use the 'tools\nodraw' texture...it has to cover all of the brush except one side

 

[romanb]

it does something weird... like it makes blocks or something...help?

 

[GonzoBabbleshit]

Any screenshots?

There's really not a lot to it so...

[GonzoBabbleshit]

That's down to the texture you're using...

 

[romanb]

... I'm stuck...


can you just like tell me what to do from the beggining? like create object xl xh xw, apply x texture to left/right bla bla

Please

thanks for the patience anyways

Did the last window break? If it did you did everything right...but you need to use a different texture to the window

 

[romanb]

tried a different texture. didn't work... I think I messed up somewhere along the way or something... :-|

Here's a little tutorial for you, might set you straight


1)Draw the brush that you want to be a window, its easier to already have selected tools/toolsnodraw
2)If you didn't do it in step 1, cover all the sides of your brush with tools/toolsnodraw
3)Select the side that you want to have the glass, and then apply your glass texture. glass/glasswindowbreak070a is commonly used I think. Office uses glass/offwndwb and prodigy uses glass/prodwndwa
4)Select your brush and hit Ctrl+T and select func_breakable_surf from the dropdown box

There you go

thanks, testing...

Yeah, as far as I know, glasswindowbreak070a or what have you is the only texture that'll work properly with func_breakable_surf.

Fit the texture to the window... cuz now it seems to be tiled

In that picture the glass is supposed to look like that.
