Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools/BreakableWindows

Note:This tutorial assumes a basic familiarity with ModelDoc Editor.

Bug:func_breakable does not spawn gibs on break in Counter-Strike 2. It's recommended to use prop_dynamic instead  [todo tested in ?]

Important:Glass material should have dynamic expressions configured, otherwise there would be no break pieces.

example model can be found in Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo\workshop\content_examples\breakable_glass\breakable_glass_01.vmdl

model doc outliner setup for breakable glass

Creating base window model

Todo:  unscrew that and make it more readable and consistent

Tip:it is not needed to have custom model file since primitive shapes are created inside of ModelDoc

• add RenderMeshFile to outliner, cancel the file selection and keep the created note, It should appear as empty node, change RenderMeshFile Name to something like "window"

RenderMeshFile:

Name: window

Source file: <none>

• add Mesh Operation Stack as parent of RenderMeshFile
• add Box Primitive as child of Mesh Operation Stack , set desired `Box dimensions` (x-thickness,y-width,z-height), but keep `Position` at [0,0,0], for this example, use "workshop/content_examples/breakable_glass/breakable_glass_01.vmat" material
• add UV map planar custom stretch it so only single part of window texture fills model (note: you need to unselect this node and compile to preview how uv will look)

• add PhysicsHullFromRender with following properties:

Surface Property: glass

Collision Property: window

• add prop_data with following properties:

Base Prop: Glass.Window

Allow as static prop: true

Health: 1
