Press F9, does it compile?

If so: load up DM, go to Create server, Select your map, click OK

Start clicking links, ^^, and read.

I think this link is included at the thread post that I linked to above, but here:

For basic stuff like a ladder, just go to valve's dev page, and type ladder into the search bar on their wiki site. It should take you to the page (or a list of search results) that tells you how to make a working ladder.

And so on, and so forth.

Or you can open a map like, for ex., dm_lockdown and see how the ladders have been made. Helped me more than any tut.

Though I still believe there's other ways of doing it....
