look at the original shader files: in algiers, e.g., window_decor_set1 got parameters like:
surfaceparm metal
surfaceparm monsterclip
surfaceparm playerclip
surfaceparm fence
surfaceparm alphashadow
this should work with your texture as well.

Remember to use common/nodraw on all side that don't have the grid texture.

well this is what i currently do:

i create the brush 1 gridsize thick
select the top face and apply the grid texture to it (with scaling)
then i select the bottom face and make it nodraw
the side faces i mostly give caulk or don't care about'em (since they arent seen)

Now, when i select the brush and apply 'weaponclip' on it this is what happens:

sometimes when walking under it the grid can't be seen, when walking on it, the grid is seen.
Occassionally i just fall through the grid

Seems like i don't use the correct sequence of applying the textures

is there somewhere a tutorial, or can someone explain in n00b-steps how it's done?

Thx in advance ( btw the grid scale and structure looks awesome thx to the tips on this forum, but as said, unfortunately the can't be shot through at this point)

Make the brush and apply common/nodraw to the entire brush (also the sides). Later give the top face and possibly the bottom face the grate texture.

thx very much
like that ppl will be able to shoot through the grid?
or do i have to give the top face some extra parameters for that?

It depends on the grill texture you use, some you can shoot through and others you can't. The ones you can shoot through only allow bullets to pass through the see-through parts of the grill work. So, the scale of the grill matters.

Hope that helps.

if u want a grid that u can shoot through but not walk thought, and it's not been set up in the .tik file

make the grid a scipt->object
give in
key: targetname
value: grid

then add a player clip around it to fit all the dimensions

and add to the script

main:
thread level_setup1
end

level_setup1:
$grid notsolid
end

//as simple as that
