First Ladder - by Tiger
| 1. How to make a ladder
For this tutorial I used the two room from the 'My First Door' tutorial and added a new room which can only be entered by using a ladder.  So at first make a 32 units wide and high enough brush and give it a ladder texture (you can find the ladder textures when you press 'T' and enter '{' to get to the gate textures)   Also make sure that the side of the ladder-brush has a right stretched texture and then move the ladder to the wall where you need it.  
In order to make the blue parts of the texture transparent make the brush a func_wall and give it the following keys at the entity inspector: key: rendermode value: 4 Rendermode 4 is normally used for func_wall entities key: renderamt value: 255 A Render-Amount of 255 make the blue parts completely transparent  Now we make a second brush with the same size as the func_wall and move it in front of it. Then we give it the AAATrigger texture and make it a func_ladder and that's all  2. A second way to reach higher positions in a map Another way to reach higher positions in a map is to make some kind of stairs out of some boxes. So first make one box and stretch the texture in the right position.  Then put it next to a wall. Copy it and put the new box over the old one. Repeat this steps till there is a way for the player to reach the higher room.  So you now know to ways to make a way for the player to get in a upper room. Finally you map should look like this in the camera view.
