Once again this forum is for bot questions, not for mapping ones

Anyway I'll move it to mapping for you so you may actually get some help

Go to common textures and find the ladder texture. Use that to create a brush the length and width of your ladder and then position in right against it in the front, and then right click and select func_ladder. You'll have to set the angle that it faces for people to be able to climb it. To do that, look at your map from top view, and the direction that the player has to face in order to climb is the angle. Just use the buttons in the bottom corner of the entity box to set them.

axion thats not quite tright. the comon_ladder textue should be 4wu out and 4wu over the aldder so it can be easily accesed from the top and the front. having it fit to the ladder wont work. as far as the roof make a horizontal roof in the 2d top window, switch to side, and use ethe rotate tool. viola, half the roof. then hit spacebar and flip it to match the other one. there ya go.
