A good way to learn is to start of by using relatively simple map scripts, like teleports and elevators and see how they work and what you can do to change/improve them.

Only once you've gotten hold of the basic concepts can you really start modding, otherwise you'll just end up getting frustrated with why it doesn't work.

If you do look into the stock MP scripts (gametypes folder mainly), look at how the code is structured and how the game flows. Once you've learned how the code/game runs, it will become alot easier to make edits or change stuff.

I think I understand it a little and I'm going to try to write a rotating door script but the only trouble I will have is formatting the script like putting in perenthesis "( and )" and calling on my door. And I will need to figure out where to put the script and how to name it.

well, what i started doing when i first looked at scripting, was i got "door test" map and i copied the .gsc and inside i just changed the values, as i didnt know how to write a whole script it just made it easier just editing little bits.

Where can I find this doortest map and the gsc file that goes with it?

try looking in cod2 downloads its there somewhere =D u cant use the .map but u can use the .gscs

Also, you could always search the forum for threads about rotating doors and moving brushes.
