How to make things breakable

Select the brushes you want to break (note that all selected brushes will break at the same time - if you want breakable windows, you will need to redo this step for every single window), open the entity menu by rightclicking and then turn the selected brushes into a func_breakable. You can edit the properties of the brush by pressing N. See func_breakable reference for details on how to use it.

How to add a model

Rightclick to open the entity menu and select misc_model. This will open a file dialogue which allows you to choose a model. Please note that the default filter is set to MD3 and you may need to change that depending on your model. After selecting the model, you should see it in Radiant. You can drag it around and rotate it as you like.

See the misc_model reference for exact information.

How to add Weapons directly into the map

There are 2 ways, one (the complicated) is this: You create a info_spawn, press "n" and write this (for a negev) in:

classname=ut_weapon_negev  -says which weapon
count=1000                 -how often you can pick up the weapon and how much ammunition is in it
wait=1                     -time the weapon needs for respawn

Or you download the Urban Terror Mapping Package here and put it into your Radiant folder. You can select the weapons from the entity menu after restarting Radiant.
