Sliding glass windows Created 20 years ago2004-11-17 21:35:39 UTC by Tetsu0

Im making sliding glass windows, and i cant seem to figure out how to make the boarder and the window slide together while making the glass transparent..
Example:
________
||******|| *'s being the glass..
||******|| you guys are smart you get it.. right?
||******||----->
||******||
||******||

If you func_door each without a trigger setup, then they will move independently.

Have each a func_door with the same targetname that's targetted by a trigger_multiple around the doors. Should work.

thanks. i just tried to make the entire thng one entity then both.. er the steel was translucent lol .

That's the good thing about HL2 mapping - no need for the triggers with the I/O and Parent systems

This is all clearly explained in the "Doors with glass" Tutorial...
Please search the tutorial before posting..Thanks.

my bad

If you want to make a door with a transparent glass, you must make two independent func_doors. One is the main structure of the door... and the other is the glass... you must give them the same moving direction and the same name if you want to activate it by the same button. Their properties must be equal... but the render mode of the glass must be texture and the FX amount what you want ( if you want a good transparency effect... you must put it under 150). That's it.
The HL Oracle

don't forget lip, you need to set a lip, if the glass is 5 units farther away from the wall the door goes into than the steel frame, then the lip is 5. It's easy once you understand
