func_breakable/_surf

I'm trying to follow the tutorials on creating breakable items/glass etc.. and everyone says to make something func_breakable... however, I can not seem to find func_breakable anywhere... not in entities, not in properties... how do I " turn it into a func_breakable entity " ?

Thanks!

This thread seems to hold the most relevance in the short search I did.

I suggest that you (since I only have 56k and its difficult) search for the entities, not the method of creating a breakable item.

After you find those, then look backward to creation.

Sorry I cannot help more.

The best things in life, aren't things.

You need to make the brush first, then transfer it to an entity. The only way you could have something like that if you create an entity (without a brush) is if you're using a model. In that case, you would use a physics object or something (which have breaking points as well).

But, func_breakable applies to brushes only.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Certain entities can only be made from brushes. As Crono said, make the brush first (apply your textures, etc) then hit ctrl+t to tie it to an entity. Func_breakable will be in the list (just like you'd make an area portal).

aye, for brush entities, as a funk_breakable is, you need to make the brush first.

the list of entities in the dropdown you were searching are all known as 'point' entities.
