shooting through materials

[shockk]

Is it possible to create a wall for example that is able to be shot through in one direction, and not penetrable when shooting through the other way?

same for a flloor, being able to shoot upwards through it but not downwards thru it?
I've seen this type ^ on peoy's pgp map (battlefield?) and am wondering what the limits are with being able to make something one sided

Skip attribute with transparency of some sort on one side, solid attribute on the other.  The skip attribute made the brush a hell of a lot bigger than I had it in BSP for some reason, but it sort of does what you're asking, just have to play with it a little.

to be honest, Cam I have no clue how to use bsp
I only ask cause I'm coming up with a map concept and some drawings and am wondering if someone here would build it for me in bsp

[shockk]

but would it be possible to have a regular wall say, that is shootable thru one side, and not the other?

what about visibility?

could i make one side of a wall be visibly see through and shootable thru, yet the other side is unshootable and not see through?

[Cameron]

Yeah just make one side transparent, and the other not.  Also noticed that you can walk through a brush with skip, so you would have to clip brush around it so you cant walk through, but can still see and shoot.

It has to do with the texture flags, I haven't mapped in so long that I can't remember the exact ones. Try googling it.

For the chainlink texture, it uses the mist flag to make it able to be shot through, and I think not walkable. Apply the whole brush to not have a mist flag, then add the mist flag to a single face. If it's walkable just add a clip.
