Does this mean the glass has no thickness?

Is it different for HL-2 DM? I made some glass on one side right and the other the other sides no draw I go play my map and I see my glass it breaks right but I go inside the building I made and I dont see the glass.

If it's not a func_breakable it gets it's material from materials.txt. So if you use a glass texture it'll make glass sounds and show glass bulletholes when you shoot it.

Just so everyone knows... the problem with one sided glass and the large squares showing up instead of the shattered effect is down to the texture. simple as that. in hl2dm use the texture:

glasswindowbreak070a

Very helpful for me thanks, i am a complete newbie wid all this, but im slowly getting the hang of it!

i managed to make some breakable glass, but when i tried to make stronger glass with the settings u suggested, it remained to have standard properties of real glass?? any ideas?

thanks!!

I found I had the same problem when making a glass window in hl2 DM. the glass would appear on one side only if I used any other texture other than GLASSWINDOWBREAK070A. If you texture the other side aswell it then works. True you've got a double pain of glass with a gap between but you can't tell that when playing as when you shoot the glass both break because it's set to func_breakable. If anyone knows how to make a glass window that shows the glass from both sides without using glasswindowbreak07a then please post.

Ellwood, that is because you've set the prop data, which overrides the health you specify. And yes, you're meant to texture both sides of a 'normal' non-shattering pane of glass with a non-shattering glass texture, but don't make this into a func_breakable_surf.

I think you can fix the problem with glass being only visible from one side if you make 2 func_breakable_surf entities of the exact same size. Simply make the visible parts of the glass facing and touching each other. When you look at the glass from either side, You look throgh one side's "nodraw" texture to the glass facing it. Im going to test this when I get a chance today. Comment if this is wrong.
