Talk:Func breakable surf
Alternative breakable textures
Theoretically, tile/tilebreak001c is also appropriate, with surfacetype set to "Tile". But it just complains about not being able to find the model, and doesn't break correctly.
Also, does anyone know whether there are other breakable textures? I only checked HL2 single-player, and only by searching for "break" in the Texture Browser.

are you trying to say the break for tiles is broken? sry ...couldnt resist—Ts2do 20:38, 22 Sep 2005 (PDT)

Here's what
Glass/glasswindowbreak070a.vmtlooks like:"LightmappedGeneric" { "$basetexture" "Glass/glasswindowbreak070a" "$envmap" "env_cubemap" "$surfaceprop" "glass" "%keywords" "c17industrial" "$envmapmask" "glass/glasswindowbreak070a_mask" "$translucent" 1 "$multipass" 1 "$nocull" 1 "$crackmaterial" "glass/glasswindowbreak070b" "LightmappedGeneric_dx6" { // This takes into account the alpha channel of the basetexture // which we can't modulate against under dx7 since envmap // happens in a separate pass "$envmaptint" "[0.5 0.5 0.5]" } }Here's what
tile/tilebreak001c.vmtlooks like:"LightmappedGeneric" { // Original shader: BaseTimesLightmap "$basetexture" "Tile/tilebreak001c" "$surfaceprop" "tile" "%keywords" "c17downtown" }The $crackmaterial is missing... of course I don't think it would create a desired effect anyways, try it though—Ts2do 13:54, 23 Sep 2005 (PDT)
I know these are super old questions... but for future reference... I got breakable tiles to work fine. With texture files from the beta and some VMT tweaks: http://www.interlopers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3153&p=425369#p425294
When I end up doing this again for my mod, I'll release the source files. Because I can't remember how to fix the textures at the moment.. Gary 09:46, 13 April 2012 (PDT)
Sound origin
Can someone confirm that anytime you turn a unbroken glass broken, the sounds is emitted at the origin of the map? (Coordinates 0)--Hurricaaane 16:15, 12 Apr 2006 (PDT)
- According to this entity's code. The sound is emitted from the origin of the entity. Gary 09:46, 13 April 2012 (PDT)
CS:S + func_rotating_door + func+breakable+surf = broken
Rotating breakable_surf doors is stuffed in CS:S at the moment it seems. The doors will jam up and not move properly until you smash the child glass panes. Opening the same map in HL2 works fine. As does using regular breakables in the doors on CS:S. I'm quite sure this used to work back a few months, as I remember testing some doors and showing them off to a friend.

Spawnflags all wrong
- [1] Physics damage decals - I guess supposed to add decals but i couldn't make it work. It's used for exactly one brush in
and it didn't appear to do anything there, not least because there's a world brush blocking the player from hitting it. A lot of maps also use the spawnflag 256 which appears to come to func_pushable, though it does nothing. - [2] Take damage from held objects - A player will break the brush on touch if that flag is active, but only if the health is 2 or lower. If spawnflag 1 is also active then it won't ever break if the player touches it.
- [4] Break on Pressure - Doesn't work if spawnflag 1 is active.
- [512] Break immediately on Physics - Will always break immediately on physics unless spawnflag 1024 is active.
- [1024] Don't take physics damage - Doesn't work if surfacetype is Tile.
- [2048] Don't allow bullet penetration - Doesn't seem to work at all.
So pretty sure there's no decal functionality, and rather the flag is actually the first spawnflag from func_breakable ([1] Only Break on Trigger) but with some functionality stripped as it can still break in some ways. And same goes for second spawnflag actually being the same as func_breakable. All tested in 
so who knows how much of this applies to other games.
