not really.
the one way mirror actaully gave me the idea

the one way mirror is half of what i wanted (being solid on only one side) but you can still see bricks behind it.

I was thinking of somthing like a cloaking device.

for example:

A BA BB
__ | __ | __
|_| <-| |_| | -> |_|
| B | C

the -> indicate the normal direction

where A,B, and C are normal bricks and BA and BB are both one way occlusion bricks

sombody at point C is looking towards A
because both to look at brick C requires looking through both BA and BB brick A is visible

however a viewer located at brick C are looking towards brick B, but because it is between the occlusion "Toggles" brick C can be seen seemingly through brick B.

If a viewer were located at brick B the viewer would be able to see ALL the bricks (A, B, And C)

A viewer located at brick A would see the same thing as a viewer located at brick C

GEN.Fire Bird:
the one way is what you are describing(sorta).
blocking veiws of bricks, but not the skybox/terrean/etc is impossible, but completly blocking the view is.

zmaster:
I have seen this happen in Blockland as a glitch, so it is possible.
Doing it on purpose may be another matter.
It should be relativly easy to do once shaders come out.
It could also be done in the source code.
I do know for a fact with current script methods/vars/etc it cannot be done.

just getting ideas ready for V21 :nes:

Planr:
this would be so awesome, now we can have true klingon ships :cookieMonster:
