.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I just starting and i trying to figure this all out so i'lll probably be asking lots of stupid ?'s so plese bear with me. anyway here are some.

To make a silding door like the gate the major opens in MOHAA m2l1 what else do i do besides ading func_door to it.

Dirt clips ,Grass Clip, Metal Clips, alll element clips etc...
Are they just there to give sound and effect or will my player bounch off, and do you have to put them on everthing, like if i make a field of grass do i have to give it a grass clip, if a lay some carpet do i have to give it the carpet clip. or does the game give it sound and effect based on texture.

What are gags like
$truck waitthread gags/t3l1_enemyspawn.scr::DoTruck 1800 2 0
were do i get them or do i make them up.

exec global/auto.scr
what scripts does it execute , will it execute exploder.scr, ai.scr ectc...

The only ammo i see is mg where are the other weapons.

Why do they have ai_whatevermodel and ai_actor entitys
do i have to place an actor and change it in to a model or can i just place the model.

i am using MOH:SH SDK to build maps but in the AI prameters I can only give the U.S or german weapons were are the british and russian ones;.

And lastly what is Float in the classes it list it says it alot like
Float red, Float green, Float blue, Float intensity,.

I know this is alot but i really need some answers. I want to be able to make good maps.
I paln on have my first map out in a week or so. i just using my basic knowledge and some script copying to build it but I need these questions answered to make it.
thanks.

Yup, its a lot of Q:s... but I'll try to answer some of them:

You do not add a func_door to it, you make it into a func_door. That is: you make a door, select it, and make it into a script door.

No, you do not normally need to add a clip, the sound will mostly be corretly set in the shader for the texture, and so all sounds and reactions to bullets and so on will be correct from the start. But clips can be very useful for a wide range of areas. Check his tutorial.

That means:
Execute the method "DoTruck", located inside the script file "t3l1_enemyspawn.scr", located in the directory "<MOHAA>/main/gags" directory. This script file may also be placed inside a pk3 file placed in "<MOHAA>/main" if it is placed inside the directory "gags" inside that pk3.
Set its self object to be the object with targetname "truck".
Send it 3 parameters with the values "1800", "2" and "0".

I dont expect you to understand all of that strangeness, but thake a look at this tutorial to make it make more sense.

Execute the method "main", located inside the script file "auto.scr", located in the directory <MOHAA>/main/global" directory.

It is a floating point number, that is a nuber like this: 2.4 or 0.34534544

How to add other ammo boxes besides MG

How to give my ai the brit and russia weapons.

and how do i get my func_door to slide the right way.

1.How to add other ammo boxes besides MG
-right click-item>...
2.How to give my ai the brit and russia weapons
-via scripting, which guns do you need.
Brit guns:
enfield
sten
mills-grenade
Russian guns: (i dont know all of them since i never made a Russian map.)
mosin-nagant
ppsh
3.how do i get my func_door to slide the right way.
-mess with teh angles of the door, hit N and which way you want your door to go in Rad, hit that direction on the angles pad in the botom left.

Okay thanks.
I found the other ammo.
I know the names of the other weapons.
And i try the door thing.

ok the command to give a gun is

$player give models/weapons/gun.tik

where gun is the name of the gun.

Isn't that how i give myself weapons.

In radiant choose your ai the press i on the keyboard to open the ai window set the gun you want that ai to use then use the apply button . Click outside that window and press i again to close the window .

the SH SDK doesnt update the weaps in that window. he needs to give the guns via scripting.

$player is the player's character, *smacks head*

$guy.gun = enfield

gives $guy an enfield
