I can only find one refracted glass texture, but when I run the map, it's not transparent, what do I do?

Do you have built cubemaps?

Yes I did, and I tried it with just about every texture on it, I may just resort to using frosted glass instead.

Actually, I belive the observation glass is actually a model now. thats why thre is not texture for it. I suggest decompiling a real map and learning from the way they do it.

prop_static

world models, filter props_lab , these are all the observation props. windos, frames, glass covers etc.

There is a good example of it in the mp_coop_fling1 level. Copy that and put some light behind it.
