Hey there everyone. I'm an amatuer with Source. I know my basics with Hammer, and that's it. I'm cureently working on 2 maps, one for Counter Strike, and one for TF2. But, I just have a few questions to help me get started.
Firstly, how to I import it to start a server with it for TF2? I know to to test the map directly from Hammer, but what if I wanted to open TF2 and start a game with my map?
Secondly, what's with the background taking shape of everything else? And how do I fix that?

Third. A Skybox. How do I make one? The server I'm making the map for is specfically requesting a Skybox for the VIPS/Mods/Admins, but how do I do it?
Fourth, speed of the doors. Can I change how fast the door will close when no one is near it? It seems like is takes forever when I walk through to door for it to close. And can I change it do it opens earlier?
Fifth, is it possible to create an elevator that can go to different floors? It's okay if not.
Sixth, every prop (except for the resupply lockers) come out as errors when I test?
Lastly, How do I create curved blocks?
I've tried looking around but it no link seems to do me justice.
Sorry for so many questions, and I apologize if they're very beginner questions
Thank you for reading this and hopefully helping out!
