respawnable glass

I was wondering if it's possible to make make glass that will break, but then respawn itself in about 30 seconds after shattering. I've got glass that breaks, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to get it to respawn itself.

In a multiplayer map I'm sure all the glass would be broken within the first few minutes of play, I think it would be cool to have it respawn cuz everyone enjoys shooting glass that shatters. or is it just me?

I dont think it can be done, would be cool though.

I would love to see a CT dive out of a window with a hostage close behind, only to bump on the glass that he coulda sworn wasn't there a second ago. This lets the Terrorist behind him catch up and blow his breainz out :biggrin: i thik thatd be great

Hey ballblue, it took you six whole days?

I thought it was one of the shortest games in history :sad: , i did it in little under 6 hours :sad: i was really dissapointed, and i dont wanna spoil anything fo people, but the ending, sheesh, youd think they coulda put some effort into it. Half life 3 sometime in about 4 years from now i think :sad:

People usually say it takes 15 hours...6 hours you'd have to be rushing sooo fast through it. Stop and admire the scenery once in a while ;-)

I have very busy eyes, i only stop to admire scenery if something is happening.

I dont know why i play through games so fast, here is my random table of games i can remember finninshing quickly

all without any guidance

Resident evil 2,. 5 hours, first time, 1hour 12minutes 36second A rank, no saves is my record

Resident Evil First time, roughly 8 hours, didnt die though, record 1 hour 28 mins exactly.

Final fantasy nine, the morning after it came out, dont know exact time.

Final Fantasy 7, all items, killed weapons, gold chocobo ect, 44 hours.

Metal gear solid 2 (i hate that game) the day before it came out :biggrin: , i got it a day early, roughly 3 hours time.

HL2 roughly 6 hours, just under 5:30 the seconf time through. And i spent most of it mot weilding anything other than the gravity gun and a radiator grin

i dont know why i finnish games so quickly :sad: i just do, its not fair, why am i acursed so!!

I think my problem is i play faaaaar tooo many games for my own good :biggrin:

Thanks for the advice, but in a lot of parts of the map the glass is bigger than the walls so I wouldn't be able to hide the glass effectively.

This is for HL2 Deathmatch BTW. I'm doing the Goldeneye level Stack which has respawning glass in it.

there should be a point based entity that comes with the hldm update which allows you to specify how often an entity will respawn - in this case the target entity would be the name of your breakablesurface. (cant pin point the exact entity as my source sdk suddenly decided not to work :sad: )

Hey hammer is working now, any chance you know what the name of the entity would be? I've tried various methods on this and still can't figure it out. Thanks.

The only thing I know of that directly relates to items respawning is prop_physics_respawnable, but glass isn't a prop so that doesn't really help.

respawing glass is easy, tie the glass to a funtion breakable give
it a name, then create a point_template set its name up and in the
first template set the name to your glass, create a logic_auto. On the
outputs put (onmapspawn, "your point_template", forcespawn) Now under
your glass put in the outputs (onbreak, "your point_template",
forcespawn) and put a delay of how ever many seconds you want to delay
the spawning that should work. If im wrong look at this web site: http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/Exploding_Barrels_%28UPDATED%29

and improvise

Yeah, this issue was from december 2004. I have a feeling it's been dealt with. I think that people should stop reviving these ancient topics. They've been dealt with or forgotten.
