How to make one way glass

I used to have a tutorial on one way glass... but I can't find it. Anyone have any ideas?

NOTE: It HAS to be HL1 compliant.

Use the NULL texture on one side and a glass texture on the other side. Can be used for walls just as well, though I doubt if players will like being shot at without seeing where the fire came from. :wink:

doesn't work, it seems to break the map in that you can see outside of
it. It's like the compiler takes the null texture and spreads it beyond
where it's supposed to be. I've tried adding in trims and such, but no
dice :sad:

Make a func_wall entity from the window you want to use as a one way window then apply the null texture to the side you want to be see through. You can also use the 'invisible'
texture(completely blue). Also if you want the other side to be window
like you can make a nother func_wall that has the values you want for
the window.

Sounds indeed like you didn't use it on an entity - I guess I had to say that in my previous post.

But, if you did apply it to an entity surface, can you describe exactly what you've been doing?

Actually guys alot of times the null texture causes a HOMing effect. So you should use {blue texture and make the rendermode Solid, ad RenderEffect 255.

No HoMM if you use it with entity. :smile: And you have to use it with
entity for to use {blue(the texture I referred as 'invisible' before as
I had forgotten its name). :smile: Trust me I've done this plenty of times.
:biggrin: There's even a working one way window in my cs_block maps toilet. :razz:
