Cross-section views in 2D stages? (NOW WITH HELPFUL WORDS)

[I'll Begin]

(3:06:07 PM) I`ll_Begin: baaah
(3:06:17 PM) I`ll_Begin: Why can't I make invisible one-sided walls...
(3:06:26 PM) I`ll_Begin: as in
(3:06:37 PM) I`ll_Begin: one side is invisible and the other side is visible
(3:06:52 PM) I`ll_Begin: like using unpegged textures, but i want it for a wall that's really-really high
(3:07:03 PM) I`ll_Begin: hmm
(3:07:06 PM) I`ll_Begin: I might try fake floors
(3:07:59 PM) ST218: Main textures
(3:08:09 PM) ST218: That's how, IB
(3:08:22 PM) I`ll_Begin: but I want the camera to go through the wall
(3:08:22 PM) ST218: Put a main texture facing towards the side you want it to be seen from
(3:09:37 PM) I`ll_Begin: it's for a 2D stage. I want the wall to be visible on the outside, but invisible on the inside and not make the camera get stuck
(3:09:44 PM) I`ll_Begin: I'm trying fake floors, just a sec.
(3:11:22 PM) ST218: If it's 2D, just make space for the camera to go through
(3:14:45 PM) I`ll_Begin: No. I got that bit
(3:15:06 PM) I`ll_Begin: but I'm trying to make the outsides of some of these spaces appear as ordinary walls
(3:16:22 PM) I`ll_Begin: so on the outside it looks like the rest of the building you're walking into
(3:16:34 PM) I`ll_Begin: but when you go inside it's a cross-section so you can see where you're going

(4:14:48 PM) I`ll_Begin: ST218, you still here?
(4:19:56 PM) I`ll_Begin: anywho here are some screenshots
(4:20:14 PM) I`ll_Begin: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9400/srb20446hj8.png -- See. I got the cutaway there. You don't see anything to the right when in the 2D camera
(4:20:30 PM) I`ll_Begin: (not finished texturing and building everything yet. I'm just getting the basic layout down)
(4:22:19 PM) I`ll_Begin: However, here's my issue
(4:22:24 PM) I`ll_Begin: http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/6991/srb20448gl9.png 1

(4:22:48 PM) I`ll_Begin: So in 2. I wanna have the cross-section beingshown so players know where they're going
(4:23:31 PM) I`ll_Begin: but in 1, I only wanna see outside through the window and not through the wall

I tried using main textures. Before ST218 suggested them. But I did say

(3:06:52 PM) I`ll_Begin: like using unpegged textures, but i want it for a wall that's really-really high

I also tried FOFs but they were visible on both sides. Fake floors made the camera stick worse than real ones.

So, TL;DR want a wall that the camera can go through freely, can't be seen from the other side but can be higher than using unpegged main textures. Can SRB2MB help me?

I think I get what you're trying to do.

Look at that and see if it helps. I couldn't do windows, but it might be of some help.

You bet! How'd you do that?

FOFs! =/

FOFs! =/

That didn't work for me, though... o.o

Make a fof and set it to a sector with the same tag and change the height to the fof chamber.

Intangible FOFs. You can only view the outer side, so using them and pointing them away from the building gets that effect.

Or you could just look at the WAD :P

Not when I was about to go to bed. I can't wad in my sleep. :P

Well, thanks.
