I am needing some help with a breakable entity. So far I have reviewed the tutorial about static and moving breakable targets, no help. I am trying to make some destroyable cover points in my map. Sorry I am a n00b, and this is my very first map that might be released. I have thus far created my brushes, tied to entity "func_breakable" set the hit points to say around 5,000,000. And yet a soldier can destroy it in two, count them TWO hits, even a damn scout with the scattergun. But a heavy firing all 200 rounds into it does NOTHING. These are cover points, so they HAVE to take some damage before breaking. I have seen this done in "well classic", "warpath", and others i can't think of right now. I have gone through the SDK docs, I have searched your site. If you need more information as to what i have done please ask, for I can pretty much give you a step by step into everything I have done and tried. From following tutorials to simply "poking it with a stick" till it works.

I use func_breakable for blowing a hole in a wall. I got it set up pretty easy. It was self explanitory... check the flags tab in the func_breakable settings. There might be some flag ticked that needs to be changed. If I remember right all the flags were unchecked.
I set the health to 1500, which was like 25 or 30 rockets (if I remember right) Ill try to remember to look up my setting and report back when I get home

I have another question to add:
Is there a way to make it so breakable walls allow stickies to stick to it?
Currently in my map Stickies just bounce off of breakable walls which is annoying because I created a wall that is easiest for demomen to break down.

That's a problem with a lot of brush entities. One thing that stickies will stick to is dynamic props, which could be set to disable when something breaks. I don't know if you can use that to build some sort of workaround.
Do stickies stick to nodraw? Maybe you can make a nodraw grid infront of the wall? Damage will leak through a bit and still damage the wall?
i have tried everything from 100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000, 10,000, ect. but i will lower it and re-read the thread here. thank you all for your help
You're doing something wrong then. I made an entire map consisting of func_breakables and they were all 200-400hp.

Have you been setting the "Prop Data" keyvalue? Because you shouldn't be. Setting this will override the number you set for "Strength" and make it react differently to different weapons. To change what material the breakable acts like when damaged, set the "Material Type" keyvalue, but leave "Prop Data" set to "None".
Thank you all very much. You were right Pseudo, I must not have fully read the help section about the overiding. I set to none and now they are MUCH harder to destroy.
