Hello, I'm currently making a cp map which is far from being done, but there is always problems in it that are fixable but I lack the skills and attention span to do so.
I would really appreciate it if someone would be willing to show me the steps I need to take, the exact ones. (I have ADD, it's really hard for me to read/watch tutorials, and they never seem to work out anyway). Somebody who directly shows/tells me helps me extremely.
What I need help with:
-Water: the map takes place around water, and when I run the map it distorts. The reason is because I end 1 or 2 programs in my task manager that make my map load very slowly. If I keep these programs in and wait, it'll show up fine but I end them to save my time. I need help with making it so the water in the map will stop doing this without taking so much time to load the map.
-Control points: since it is a cp map, it needs control points. I know the basics of setting up one control point, but most tutorials don't mention how to make more than 1 control point. I don't know how or where to start with making 5 control points. It gets unorganized and confusing very quickly for me, so I usually give up. How can I make it so I can have 5 control points, 2 for RED, 2 for BLU, and have a neutral control point?
Another thing is when I test cap a point, the control point HUDs don't show up. How can I set these up? HUD : http://www.rambase.ro/site/system/files/images/tf2_contol_point_capture.jpg
-People say my map also takes awhile to load because I don't have an entity/zone where if I walk inside, everything behind me will disapear. When I turn around, it'll come back, and everything behind me again will dissapear once more. I looked up tutorials but I can't follow along well.
-Shading: I realize this should be one of the last things to do when working on a map, but once again I can't understand or focus on the tutorials I watch. How do I set up shading/shadows/lighting?
I know all of these questions have tutorials but in reiteration, I have major ADD and cannot focus on them at all. I get lost and I feel hopeless. But I am positve that once I memorize how to do something, I will remember it.
I know the basics of map design such as making buildings, making spawn points, creating props, etc, but when it gets more technical I crash and burn.
If you have any questions please ask here. Please don't be mean in the replies.
