I was really wondering how i you make windows into fpsc this is my theory:

Texture is nothing just a blank white texture save it then export it as an entity then put it onto damage script same as the windows iv not tested this but is that how you creat windows also i was wondering how do you make the opacity so that its slightly frosted and you can see through it still its very confusing please help thanks.

...the easiest way to achieve a realistic opacity, is to create your window texture in , say Photoshop, export it out, and import it into a program called Paint.net.

Paint.net utilizes transparency sliders, that allow you to a create just the right type of transparency.

I've had fantastic results using this method...

...use Gimp to create the texture.

Be sure to remember that 0,0,0 is pure black, and that will appear as transparent in FPSC.

Try exporting the texure as a .png, with black as a transparent value. You can import it into Paint.net, and play with the transparencies...

When making windows I always make the window texture into a layer mask rendering it see through.Then you couldn't see the glass (it was invisible) so I added a touch of light blue.
It gave the window enough tint that you could see the window.

Please have mercy and use the search function.

...oh, absolutely.

I always include smudges, hotspots, and surface dirt, just for this very reason.

If you just make a perfectly black transparent surface, you'll see nothing at all in FPSC...

Just use the Color to Alpha tool with the GIMP. Here, I saved you the trouble.
