1. Learn to use the clipper, it is the best way to make everything, using vertice/side manipulation, you can cause errors when doing certain thing (e.g turning a square into a triangle, will make the triangle unselectable)

2. When making custom textures, the image size MUST be a power of 2...

2
4
8
16
32
64
128
256
512
1024
...

So you image size can be for example...
1024 x 1024 or 512 x 8

but both numbers have to be a power of 2.

its simple

all you have to do is place the trigger brush where ever you want and right click on it in the 2D grid, then select trigger/hurt
by pressing N to open entitiy editor

key:dmg

Start in top view, draw a square brush to the size you want the diameter of the pipe, then go to front or side view and make the brush to whatever length you want the pipe to be, now go to patch - primitives > cylinder, then you have a basic pipe
