Window Shutters (Functional Block Idea)

A block that is the same size as some windows. But it's a functional window shutter.

  • You place it in front of windows.
  • When you push the toolbar for it, it closes protecting the window.
  • It's designed to be armor for windows, but when open you can see through the window.

It could come in two styles:

  • A shutter design. So slits you can still see through when open.
  • A panel design where the panel descends from the top to cover the window. Meaning the window is completely exposed with no obstructions when it's open.

We basically have shutters in SE1 they just aren't functional.

I would rather have it be an integrated function of the window itself.

  1. Basic window
  2. Smart window with a shutter and maybe a dimming function

Yeah, I think both can work, if you look at SEM's mod he has versions for both.

The Player/Mod/Modder SEModder4™[Supercharged] basically had this idea a long time ago and made a mod for SE1 that demonstrates this idea perfectly. And his modded block is a functional block, the shutters open and close and protect windows for SE1 (which is a much older game).


You can find the link to the mod here.

Like a proper heavy block, similar to SE1 viewport but with bigger windows and a massive shutter. It can have same integrity as heavy armor when closed. Or even when opened, like why not, opening/closing them is just for the roleplay anyway. And If you play first person camera only at least you can have a good option :)

Here is a proper video showing how the idea worked in SeModders SE1 Mod. He had three functional designs.

- Window shutter design

- Panel that open and closes top down.

- Panel that opens outward leaving a flap on the top and bottom.


And he even could make these as apart of windows themselves. But I want to leave the option open for devs to include it as a new block entirely that fits in front of windows as well.
