OA - Shooting out Glass

[magicpanda 19]

I'm not sure if this an issue with all buildings with glass windows or just in the town I'm basing my mission.

Basically I can be inside a building shooting from inside and cant seem to hit units outside and they can't seem to detect or hit me.

Known issue?

[demonized 20]

yes, this is a known issue, glass windows is a viewblock, AI will not see you, and you cannot shoot through it.

[magicpanda 19]

Damn. That is a kick in the nuts to my mission.

No easy way around it I suppose?

[viper[cww] 14]

Well.. you can shoot through it but you'll have a very hard time hitting your intended target as it alters the path of the bullet, I've hit units from behind glass before and it takes more then a few shots.

As far as the AI not seeing you I'm not sure that's true as I'm always being engaged by them while taking a sneak peak, also TWS doesn't work through the glass which I'm told is also true to real life.

You've got to love the indestructable glass :D

[magicpanda 19]

You are right about the Thermals which is fair enough. I just noticed you can't see fire through glass as well. I made a lot of things blow up outside the building I'm in and they don't show as burning through the glass except through the holes.

Would love to see it fixed along with those absolutely nutty Special Ops Medics who turn on flashlights in the middle of combat.

I've countered the problem in some cases with setHit ["glass",1] which destroys the window parts of certain buildings.
