Non Shoot-thru Wall Created 17 years ago2006-12-26 19:52:58 UTC by HeAdCrAb KILLA

In one of my CSS maps I have a wall that is textured with the "glass/combineglass001a" material. I am trying to prevent the bots (and other players) from shooting through it. I have tried several different things but none have worked. Any ideas???

Tried it, twice. The bots still managed to shoot eachother through the wall.

Yep, I'm starting to wonder if it can even be done...I think it might be the texture or something.

In CSS, bullets will travel through any world geometry. I don't know if you will be able to block bullets at all in such a case. Here's an idea, though: make the glass wall, then make a 1-unit-thick brush textured in tools/blockbullets inside the glass wall. Perhaps that may work?

make the glass thicker??

Nah, that won't work. Bullets go clear through all world geometry in CSS :

Type bullet into the texture browser, and then I think theres one named something like dev_blockbullets.. It might work, dunno though.. Never had a use for it.

The Blockbullets texture will indeed block bullets. But be careful how you place it, since it also prevents decals from showing up in the walls you are shooting at.

well, he said its just to not get through glass, so this brings up questions I guess... Does it only block bullets when you shoot where the actual texture is placed, or will it block it if it hits something else, but the bullet "would" pass through it. In which case (on the second one), he could make the glass texture, and then put the block bullets as a smaller brush that occupies the same expanse as the window, but just thinner. Then it would still give the glass decal, but not go through it.
