Grab some prefabs from the downloads and read this.

[Guide] Payload's Logic

This reference covers what you need to know to deal with the logic of the payload gamemode. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel here, so this is based on the gametype prefab available in ABS's Mapping Resource Pack. I expect you'll use the prefab in your map. Before starting, be sure you're...

I'd recommend starting out with like attack/defend first though because it's simpler logic.

[Video Tutorials] How to Make TF2 Maps

This series will teach you the very basics of how to create Team Fortress 2 maps. It is intended for someone who knows absolutely zero about mapping, but can also serve as a refresher for those more experienced. The series is still WIP, but check out my channel and subscribe to catch all...

[nesman]

Thanks!, uh i also have another question. how do i make displacements nicely and good ive tried but the all turn out sharp and not smooth

 

[nesman]

With time and a steady hand. No but like seriously, I still don't get it right but it all comes down to your brush size and what distance you're working with. When painting you can also hold shift and click + drag your mouse for smoother painting.

[Guide] Displacements - Basic Construction

Lots of people have asked about displacements recently, and with YM's tutorial being half-broken, and IMO a inferior method of constructing displacements, I've been requested a few times to write this tutorial on how I do my displacements. Disclaimer: This tutorial is more about the method of...

okay last question, i dont really want to do an entire full sized map all on my own so i want to find some people who will help me with my mapz

 

[Spookarma]

Honestly, for that purpose I'd recommend you join the TF2 Maps discord server, I believe it is a lot easier to connect with potential collaborators and receive feedback there (though that's probably just because I'm not used to using forums)

 

[Gamero]

do you think you could help?

 

[Spookarma]

Nah sorry I haven't learned hammer properly yet and I'm currently focusing on other things (though if you ever need posters or illustration on your map I could probably help)
