Title: 1 way transparent, light blocking wall
Post by: ravo on April 13, 2017, 04:19:49 PM

Hello, does anyone know how I can make a transparant wall(preferably 1 way) block light.
I want a dark room that allows you to look into a bright room but not the other way around.

Pls if you know how, or if you have seen this somewhere let me know. Ty

To make anything invisible, just add the surface flags "sky" and "nodraw".

You'll see in the map attached that I leave a 1x1 unit hole in the wall. The wall WILL NOT WORK correctly if there isnt a gap. You won't notice the hole anyways.
