Breakable Glass Question

[cruizer]

I have a pane of breakable glass in a tower, imagine a guard tower where the windows slope downward so they can see the ground. Not only to the windows slope downward, it's also a polygon, the bottom is shorter than the top. In game, it looks fine, until you break it. Then it becomes a square half in, half out of the block next to it. Screw it, I'll place pictures....

In game unshattered

In game shattered

In Hammer

Am i doing something wrong, or is that jsut the way it is?

Hard to tell w/ that shape. What you could try doing is turning the glass into a func_brush. This acts as an entity for all purposes. So you can give it a certain amount of health, and have it explode or whatever when destroyed.

Thansk for that.
turns out though, that if I jsut use func_breakable, instead of func_breakable_surf it works fine. I jsut like glass shattering over breaking, but I'm not going to fight it.

Func_breakable_surf has several restrictions to its use. See the page in the developer wiki.
