Question regarding glass

by Gatharoth » Wed Jul 04, 2012 04:41

Okay, so you know how glass removes/makes transparent sides that are connected to other glass?

Is there a force an update on a custom glass node to mimic that behavior to work with a normal glass node?

So in a sense, when the custom glass is placed it will check for non-custom glass nodes around it and remove the texture from the side that is connected to it if there is one. As well as a check for when nodes are placed next to it.

Edit: Made the question a bit clearer.

By default there is something known as ''backface culling'' that doesn't show faces of nodes that are against faces of other nodes. Anything with the ''glasslike'' drawtype should work like normal glass - take a look at the default glass and see the settings like ''sunlight_propagates'' and ''drawtype'' and all.
Resources are abundant; only money is scarce. People should not have to work hard and remain poor just to pay for the needs of survival.
Society can thrive without money - but only if productive members of society are rewarded for being productive.

You kind of misunderstand what I'm wanting. Yes the custom glass will work like normal glass, but only with itself. What I'm wanting to know is there a way to force that backface culling. Because if you put the custom glass and a regular glass together, the backface culling won't kick in, thus you can see the face of a node that's connected, both ways, both the regular and the custom glass.

Also that was my fault, I should have made it clearer when I was asking the question.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do this as of now.
