Yes. But reading the manual will.

Also, you're question makes no sense at all, at least to me. Can you reword it, and add more detail?

what a metorite did was answer the question. you didnt ask how. your one question was "is it possible", if you added "and if so, could you point me in the right direction."

ice wewe is saying that your first sentence isnt proper, nor does it make any sense whatsoever. "How can I do a wall or a pyramid where people can." Can what? Run through it, Touch it and fly through the sky. Move to the top of it, so on and so forth.

I dont mean to be a bastard, for lack of a better word (too late, too tired). But this will keep you from saying that your question wasnt answered and maybe help you in the future with help questions like this one...

as for the answer, if ice wewe didnt answer it, i know i cant.

This should be named the "Nonsense Answer Thread"

you just (whalst the object is selected) tick the box drive though by the rotation bit

What? I didnt understand that....

Anyway yea go in BZedit and select an object, then click on the box thing next to DriveThrough... now that made sense.. If thats what he is asking for.

I would recommend reading this, and this. It will answer most of your questions on mapmaking.

to be blunt, you can't put water in in bzedit. you need to add it in a texteditor (namely notepad on windows, textedit on mac) , using the waterLevel object (for water that kills you when you hit it). again see http://bzflag.org/wiki/MapMaking

it's always good to know how a map is built without bzedit.
through code it is possible to make much more intricate and advanced maps. It can also be worthwile learning a 3D editor, though this takes time, effort and an unbelievable ammount of patience.

I don't want to flood you with information, so i'll leave it there.
