ok so yesterday was the first time i ever used any authoring tools for any game. In real life im an electrical contractor in a cad department, so ive used programs similar to the one in this game. like cad, revit, vis. so using the program i dont have much of any kind of problem once i find out what everything does.

My question is what things do i need to have in the map for it to be playable? for example, do i need a start and an end point? what are those things called? i dont know anything about the program. what are some good videos and web sites available to learn more about the editing tool? if possible please name out all the things i need on a map for the map to load properly in the game. if you dnot know any links would be appreciated... thank you.

(i used the word things alot because i dont know what some of the commands are called so id rather be stupid and say things and not confuse you 8])

My problem that im having is i try to play a map i made and it wont start. i dont know what im doing wrong or missing. ive seen maps costom maps online. so it seems like you can make a map and play it.
