Breakable glass [HOW?]

Uh, sorry to be stupid.

How exactly do I make "breakable glass" ? Can it still be translucent?

Create a 2-sided line, but set it to Block Everything and activate on Impact. Give it the TranslucentLine special, making sure to set the 1st argument (LineID) to a unique number. In an open script, use the SetLineSpecial function to change the line's special to ACS_Execute. In the script it executes, play a glass break sound, change the line's texture to a broken-glass texture, spawn a few glass shards, and use SetLineBlocking to make the line block nothing.

Holy shit...

ZDoom has default glass shards, eh. In case I have further trouble, how do I spawn them, are they affected dy gravity by default?

I was playing around and made some pretty impressive glass with more realistic physics (cracking from the point of impact and then shattering depending on the damage). Maybe I can talk Randy into adding it to Zdoom

.

Try it. It sounds like a really cool feature.

Actually, those are ice shards, which are used in the ice death of baddies.

Change the pictures and sounds and they can be anything...

Doesn't it come with Hexen's stained glass shards too?

Yes.

If you want a simple example of a shattering glass mirror go to this site:

http://members.lycos.co.uk/Enjay001/

Scroll down to the file that says "A Smashable Mirror For Zdoom" (about 3/4 of the way down the page. There are other example files for a variety of stuff there, but quite a lot has been superceded by improvments in Zdoom.

Or you could download my "Marine Assault" level for a really smashing time (mainly windows and computers).

Also, the Hexen rocks and dirt clumps can be spawned for adding to earthquake effects and so on - or used for something else entirely.

Yeah, get Enjay's Marine Assault. I loved that map, Enjay. The whole thing was amazing. An animated briefing, the terminator theme as you wreak havoc and destruction, new bad guys, railgun, new textures.... Brilliant beyond belief. I don't believe it didn't get onto Doomworld's top 100 wads feature...

There's an example of breakable glass in this very old demo wad. Today it's not really anything special anymore, but back when I made it it was pretty impressive (I think

)

I made breakable glass with plain Doom before. (well... it wasn't that convincing... and it was only one level... and any other switches also made shattering noises... but I thought it was pretty neat at the time.)

That will be very helpful.

Thanks.

Be aware of a new project coming soon...
