Pre fractured the windshield into 5 pieces. Each peace when breaks spawns an updated particle 68. Reworked the LUA that creates a particle when a beam breaks, to only emit the particle for a brief moment. Did not look good having the particle constantly emitting glass shards.

The beam spring and all that stuff is completely off for glass. Looks like jello glass, but that was not the test. Was getting the particles to emit. See, my thoughts are particles do no have collisions, but if a windshield breaks into pieces, those pieces will have collisions, and if they also emit a particle when they break, the particle still does not have collisions, but the appearance of the glass that does can help some.

May work on it more later, I am just really happy the LUA worked. The original LUA is from @TonyCartony . I added to it, with a lot of trial and error, merging part of the cannon's lua timing to work with Tonys Lua.

Almost forgot, I added a thruster to one of the glass pieces to work with gas peddle. To make a piece kind explode out. In some of the examples I am cycling through them all and pressing gas and tabbing to next so that they all explode on reset. Would love to get this in a car, and see how it does.
