There are a couple of map making questions I have, here they are.
In a louman map, the lasers stay suspended in midair for about 5 sec. How does he do that?
Also, I have alot of troubles with making/linking teles. Does anybody have any really good ways to link teles? For example, I don't know which side is back and which is front, that is my main problem.
And third. Thanks to blast, one of my maps is now hosted. He has given me "extra privileges", but how do I use those. like how do I set variables while playing?

To set variable just type "/set _serverVariable #", e.g. "/set _wingsJumpCount 5". Use "/reset _serverVariable" to return it to its original value. Also to view all variables type "/set".
The variable "_laserAdLife" controls the amount of time (in seconds) that a laser remains after being fired. On Louman's Bridges this is set to 10.

Which Louman map? Just save the map and look at the code...

The /diff command will show any server variable that are not set to default values.

You don't have to save the map, just type "/set _laserAdLife" while in game and it will give you the value (unless it has been changed on the server, which is unlikely IMO). you don't even need to be admin.

)...Yeah I forgot about /diff.
Metroid Prime, it may be smart to run a private server and make yourself be admin and practice changing variables to see their effect, etc., vs. when other players are around. If you don't know how check the wiki page http://my.bzflag.org/w/Main_Page.
Good luck!
