i know how to set up hammer, make a map, and be done with it, but the thing is the only map i ever made for half life 2 isn't even done and it sucks. I've made maps for the portal games but atleast those have a set definition. "You have portals, and you go through them. Now finish this puzzle with portals and other components." But theres no "set goal" or guideline for a half life 2 map other than to get to the end. I don't know the ins and outs of the half life 2 engine, and there are no videos on it. Sorry of this is long, all i wanted was a video for mapping and making maps for half life 2.

I'm not sure what you are asking?

#

Are you wondering how to make maps, or make storyline?

im asking on are there any videos somewhere that goes into the process of making maps, such as a general goal, a plot, enviroments, and a reason why this and that is happening.

Nope, I don't start with reference photos or sketches... I think and write!
