mapping help.

[Saeten]

Hey, i just got into mapping. i learnt how to make water, stuff like that, i just dont know how to make stuff for jail like cells, hospital, soccer, vents that are breakable, and something like an execution room. Im hopefully going to release this map to the community after im done. so can anyone show me how to make this kind of stuff?

 

[Tee Hee Hee]

Well...which in particular do you want to learn?

I can teach you how to make doors, breakable objects, kill rooms + hospitals...what else would you like to know?

i would like to learn how to make disco too please.

 

[Tee Hee Hee]

Disco is harder...as it involves more things but yeah sure!

Which first? We'll tackle them one at a time...you can add me on steam (same user name) or you can pm me here on edgegamers...I just dont think we need a whole thread of just me teaching you

Best thing is start simple and go slow, trying to rush and make your first map the one you release to everyone hardly if ever works out.

Best idea make about 4 or 5 simple maps to get the hang of how Hammer and the Source Engine works. As Ive told everyone else, Rome wasn't built in day.

I agree with Rogue completely. Just create a few maps and when you are happy with your work, submit it to the community and they will tell you what they like and what they don't.

PS: I got a question for Rogue, How do you submit a map to the community? Do you just make a thread? PM me please.
