Ahh... well I can't help you there : sorry.
Just for future reference though, anything HL or CS related should go in the HL forum.

There was an old tutorial/example map on Counter-Map, but that site appears to be not working/gone atm. Lemme see if I have it archived...

I think I read a tutorial on it somewhere, but can't remember where exactly. Anyway, it's pretty simple.
Make a window, put the glass texture on the side you want to be opaque, and put the NULL texture on the other, so you won't see anything there when you look at it from that side. You don't make this transparent or anything, but it's probably a good idea to make it a func_wall.
You then make a second window up against the first one on the side with the NULL texture on it, and make this one like a normal window with transparency.
I'm not too great at tutorials, but I hope it's easy enough to understand.

srry that was wat i was thinking... the only problem might be if the windows touch (can this affect the null)... so id say seperate them atleast 1 unit

That won't be a problem if they touch, where did you get that idea? If at least one of them is a brush based entity (and the transparent window has to be), then it's not going to clip that face away or anything. And even if it did, it would just be doing the same thing as the NULL.

Well anyway, I found the example map/tutorial in my archive, and put it in the Map Vault. It's pretty simple, but they're nicely done.

I was trying to get on there about a month ago, and it was down then. I loved that place.

srry the only reason i said that was because i had null on a door once and it cause errors on textures around it... so i suggested that just incase
