At first you could have posted this in your first post as reply. But no problem!

As I don't really get it, I'll tell you how the the thing works:

The glass is a mover with a move time of zero. This means it disappears instantly. The "BreakingGlass" actor does 3 things:
1.)It's the trigger for the mover, activated when shot
2.)It produces the pieces of glass
3.)It creates the breaking sound

I suppose it's a DM map. So you want to come the glass back so that other players can shoot it again. In singlepayer maps (e.g. for Unreal) you set the glass to "bMoveOnceOnly = true). Then the mover doesn't com back. Try this, perhaps it helps. I think you placed an invisible collosion hull! Is it one mover?

Please describe your problem a bit more detailed and clear.
Sorry, perhaps it's just me ;)

You can see how the textures are set and what 8472 was saying about the mover...throw this demo into the editor and see the settings for yourself.....

Good Luck!

Heres how i did it

First of all thanks blaze i had that tutorial but it didnt work.8-4-7-2 I am using unrealed 2.0 for an unreal tournament level heres what i did. First i measured up the glass for the window i then created it as a sheet with its texture i then created a cube brush around it and made it an invisible hull thingy, by the way the two didnt touch like you said they shoudlnt. I then highlighted both of them and created a brush and intersected it to get the shape. I then moved the brush to the right position in the window and created it as a mover.I set its 0keyframe to that position then it's 1st to far away outside my room. Now i added a breaking glass actor and ran it it worked but the problem is, wait for it the glass is shot and it breaks but the glass remains there till the player walks into it then it moves like a door i want it to block until it is shot out then it should let plyers through can you help me sorry bout the grammar its 5.30 in the mroning over here thats why thanks

under mover properties there is a space labled "damage"...enter the value you want the mover to suffer before it will move...I use 10 so everything will move it. Also, select "ignore when encroached" and use timed opened instead of "bump opened timed"....look at my demo...all the settings are there.....

Like i-spie said you must of course set the mover to "BumpOpenTimed". I'm pretty sure that's the problem!
Also change the stay open time to 4 or s.th. so that the glass doesn't com back at one!

Bump Type: BT_playerBump
buse trigger: false: if i set this to true the glass doesnt smash
damage threshold:0.00000
mover enroach: ME_ignorewhenenroach
movergldie time: MV_glidebytime
stay open time : 4.00
Collision:
blockplayers:True
projtarget: false
Advanced
bnodelete: false

That's a weird problem and I'm really curious to find a solution!

In general you havn't to change all those deatiled settings.

then created a cube brush around it and made it an invisible hull thingy
Click to expand...

This isn't the problem but I give you an advice.
Don't build the hull around the sheet. Make your hull 2 units thick and 2 units on each side smaller than the sheet (if the sheet is 128*128 make the hull 126*126*2) Then place the hull 2 units (un a 2 unit grid) away from the sheet.

This is the way the Epic guys did all glass in Unreal 1.
Your method works too, but it may look strange.

Do a forum search for "glass". There was a post by G-Man I think with a similar problem. He couldn't shoot the glass from both sides.

Well I don't know a solution. It should work, when I look at this settings! :confused: :confused:
