Trigger is for flags. You put it around the flag and when someone hits the flag, they get the flag.

Hint is used to tell the compiler where to split the map up.  It's useful for improving r_speeds after running vis because you can give the compiler hints as to where you want each section (called a portal) to be.  I'd suggest googling around for some tutorials.

Origin is used for rotating entities (such as func_door_rotating).  It tells the game what point to rotate at.

Skip does weird stuff.  I haven't really found a use for it.

Actually, clip brush is a brush what you can see through and shoot through, but you cant walk through it, so its not just for the ladders.

Cool, thanks. What do I look for in Google? Do I look for "Quake2 map tutorials?"

I'll save you the trouble. :)

Gamedesign.net Quake II tutorials. Pball is based off of QII, so most of this stuff works just fine (some entities etc. won't work).
