I want to put a decal in a window but obviously need it to disappear if someone smashes the window.
How to go about that?

There are many ways to to that, depends how it should look like.
-Destroy Trap/NVSlayMeTrap
-Tweq Delete property on the decal object, a stim acitivates the tweq
-DeadfallTrap

Add a BreakWin -6083, change its model to the one of your decal, and Corpse link it to either a broken version of your window or Marker -36. With the BreakWin in place and two room brushes placed you will get the correct sound propagation, and the lean into window effect will work as well.

I would think detail attaching the decal to the window would work.

detail attaching the decal to the window was the first thing I tried, just because it sounded easiest. Smashed window, decal disappeared. Thanks ZB and everyone.

Yep, that's the simplest way and it works because when you break a window, you are actually killing it, so its attachments go away with it. The broken window model is its corpse.

Be aware that there can be z-sorting issues when detail attaching to a transparent window. IIRC there are some special options in the detail attachment properties to correct this.

Yeah, for where I wanted it in the window though, I only had to change one of them to 90 degrees, so it wasn't a 10 minute trial and error thing.
