 Re: One way window

<Hi, I was wondering how to make a "one way window", that is a window that you can see the other side from one side but not from the other:

A ===> || <=/= B

Any ideas how to make this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Do you want it to be black from one side or what?

Put brick-texture one site and window or nodraw texture on the other... this is because you SHOULD not be able to see a texture from the inside of a block/whatever, and since you see through the window, you cant see the brick because you look from the inside... not sure if this works, since i can't use steam for the time being...

I saw this in a surf map also...

edit:

Nodraw/Window-texture===> || <===Brick-texture

You could also put up 2 walls, the one entirely covered in glass, and the second with nodraw on the side turning against the window and brick on the out-turning side, and put these two right next to each other... Kinda hard to explain, and I'm sorry i can't make a picture/map to show you or test if it even works...

I've tried by setting one side with glass texture and the other with wall but it doesnt work. It acts like a big window and I can see from both sides...

The only thing was that i put a glass texture instead of nodraw on the glass-brush to make the window look more realistic.

glass||glass - nodraw||brick

I want a snark-mark
