cs 1.6:
-func_breakable with any material can be broken by grenade touch
-this works with or without targetname of it
-rendermode has to be something other than "normal" rendermode for this to work, if you wanted "normal", you can just use "solid" instead
this means that env_render can toggle its feature to be broken or not (tested)

^ based on my env_render testing render modes other than normal and solid creates glass bullet decals when shot, so in that sense the engine assumes a brush entity in those modes as being made of glass. the grenade code must be using the same logic as well, so that checks out.
