I took the liberty of re-posting the question here, as I rarely make them in movers. I would use transparent window from add special and I don't know of any effect which fixes "bsp" like issues.

You're referring of a window for transparency only or is it required to be breakable too?

If ya wanna use some fancy sauce, you can have a door with a square hole in the top middle, then make a seperate glass mover, put it in the space, and set its attach tag to the door's tag. That way it will be more realistic for breaking-and-entering maps, break the door-window and unlock the door, know what I'm saying?

And that allows one to surprise players with funky snipes ;D I also found a way other than crosshair colour to scan for that opening: Light augmentation, it passes through the small hole if your crosshair is in the right position.
not possible to have breakable window inside unbreakable door, if it swings I guess, but you could have actual glass in some types of door/portal I guess.

It's not inside, when you make the door, you leave a square hole in the top half, that's where the window goes.

Hey, if you can aim through a half unit gap to pick someone off through a door, more power to you. The majority wouldn't be able to do that, though
That said, one could easily make a recess such that the window brush could fill the whole frame without 'glitching' and without being able to shoot through it...

True, but then as said you risk creating sniping holes, but there are ways around it, if you're perpared to use multiple brushes and work at 1 Grid Level, but my solution is difficult to explain.
