Here's the deal: I'm trying to create moving targets that will let arrows stick into them. I've tried using func_brush, and that doesn't work- the arrows shatter. I've tried using func_breakable, same deal. Func_detail's out for obvious reasons, same with a normal brush.

So is there a way to do this?

Arrows break when colliding with entities (except prop_static). Therefore, probably not.

^^^ right

Only on world brushes will arrows not break on. That's because they're considered a part of the actual world geometry. All brush entities, like func_brush, func_detail, func_physbox, etc, are not.

make an invisible model, just a slim plate with the size of your moving targets, give it an fully transparent texture, so it ain´t visible and place it right in front of your target
make it prop_dynamic and parent it to the moving entity
arrows shot will then stick to the fully transparent model

Try a trigger_vphysics_motion filtered to tf_projectile_arrow that sets velocity to zero. it works for stickies

:O that exists?! That could be used for some seriously awesome slo-mo effects with bullets in hl2, like bullet time and such, then just kill the entity or something when you're done. :O!
