Check out the youtube vids by 3kilksphilip, they'll explain pretty much everything. And if you need moar help check out the Valve wiki on Source SDK.

thanks, the valve developer wiki was down yesterday, its back up today, but I have been making progress, as I have made a switch and trigger for lights and a door, thanks to the halfwit-2.com tutorials, hopefully I can learn something from the wiki now.

another quick question how do you give the player weapons and a flashlight? he doesn't start with anything at all, not even a flashlight.

ok, nvm last question, but I made a water map, and for some reason it won't show the water! it just does that thing where it copies the background where the water should be, but I can still swim in the water and it works normal until I get out. I am not using cubemaps, because I read that they only work with lights entities. Can someone help me?

ok I tried the point map, and it was pointing at a block on the water, so I deleted it, and it was still pointing, then I tried deleting the water, but it was still pointing at the same spot! I'v checked for leaks in the walls but I can't find any.
also, does the water require a skybox to work?
EDIT:
urk..."Note: In order for water surfaces to render correctly, it is necessary for your map to have a skybox. VDC" wish I had seen that.
