Make in breakable window is driving me crazy!!!

[Dene]

Im getting a headache trying to make a breakable window!

Is it done by making a mover? But then the glass is quite thick! Or is it made as a single plane with "collision hull's".

Anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial or something?

This assumes you know how to make a glass window and is something I wrote up for someone else. It should still be applicable.

Part 2: Breakable Glass.

Now that we've made the glass a Mover we can make the next time and make it breakable.
This is for a window that is breakable multiple times.

Ingrediants:
1 Mover
1 BreakingGlass effect

Mover properties:
Events=>Event=BreakingGlass_1
Mover=>bDamageTriggered=True
Mover=>DamageThreshold=3
Mover=>MoveTime=0
Mover=>StayOpenTime=45
Object=>InitialState=TriggerOpenTimed

BreakingGlass properties:
Collision=>bCollideActors=False
Collision=>bCollideWorld=False
Collision=>bProjTarget.
Events=>Tag=BreakingGlass_1
ExplodingWall=>bTranslucentGlass
ExplodingWall=>GlassTexture=[Use the same texture as found on your window. Just select the texture in the browser and click on Use in the properties]

Now all you need to do is to make the Mover's Keyframe1 somewhere out of view.

Truth is I'm really a copier machine [img]/~unreal/ubb/html/wink.gif[/img]

Try intersecting the brush instead.

Hmm..

Yep I tried them settings. But I cant get the mover to remain transparent!

I made a brush (used a thin cube) placed it into the level and it looks ok. But then I use copy polygons and make a mover from that it always reverts to the default texture and not transparent!
