Alright; one of the things I was hoping to implement into my map was glass capable of being destroyed. I've managed to build my map well enough that the glass looked beautiful, despite that you can see the gap between the window-frame and the glass.

However, you can shoot the glass, melee it, throw grenades at it, it refuses to break. The glass is named "glass-", the - is, according to nikon.bungie.org's HEK tutorial, the flag to indicate it's destructible. Yet, it's not working. Do I need specific things in the shaders, bitmaps, or something in order for it to be able to be destroyed?

Also, how close, in units, can one face be to another? I want my glass as close to the window-frame as possible, without getting "Couldn't update edge" errors.

Make it double sided then attach it, it should work.

It is attached to the model; But they are boxes within the model. Do I add the % tag to the material name to make it render both sides, or what..?

"Make it double sided" i presume so, try it.. :P since i dont htink you can have one sided glass, thats also breakable.. but meh.

Yes, I do, actually.

and, i figure that is the problem. maybe. :P

I thought it was "-glass" not "glass-"

Is the shader type set to glass?

Yes, it is.



No. All flags go after the name except for +portal, +sky, +sound, +unused... And the .materials, which are very rare; I only know of .exactportal... Otherwise, with materials like ladder^%, water!$, all the flags go after. Glass is the same way; i.e., glass-

it's +exactportal not .exactportal.

That's oddly confusing because if you look at the HEK Tutorial:

.	Exact Portal property.  This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface makes the surface able to be used to define an exact portal.

But it does say this too.

+exactportal	Applied to faces that are used to define an exact volume or portal.&left; Such faces typically cover exactly the opening of a doorway, passage, or hallway to define a very distinct volume that can be used to occlude the rendering of other areas of the level.[/colde]

Nonetheless, I'm still wondering about the glass. Not that I can do anything about it, my computer's 300 miles away, and this laptop wouldn't run Halo if it's life depended on it.

Makes it double sided.
