Ok so I've made plenty of maps, none compiled yet but I don't know how to make windows I get the idea that making a block primative and applying a glass texture isn't going to work so I could really use some help.

Funnily enough it is. Put on a texture that looks vaguely glass-like, then in its properties change the rendermode to 'solid' and the fxamount to a fairly transparent value. Experimentation is probably best (I'd try making lots of windows with different fxamounts). Also you can make it a 'func_breakable' which, surprisingly, will make it breakable.

Ahm, if you don't want it breakable, it should be a func_wall entity. And the rendermode needs to be texture.

Ok while on this subject, How do I make a window that I can see through, and shoot through buy without breaking the window?

Make it a func_wall, set rendermode to 'solid' and the amount to something like 200. Give it a fairly light texture and make it really thin. It will act like a wall in that it doesn't break but will be transparent.

Render Mode should be 'Texture', not 'Solid'.

ya and farmboy, wat edan said at first was same as down rodea and killer duck said, because no matter how thick the wall is, u can still shoot thru it as long as it is 1 wall

Crap, I always get that wrong!

I suggested making it a thin wall so that stuff would shoot through it with not too much impedance.
