First off, I will try to be as specific as possible. The Easter Egg I want to achieve is fairly simple, but seeing as I know very little of scripting much outside of the basics, I'll need some help. I'll give whoever is willing to help me full credit for their work. Thanks!
I would like to make a simple 5-piece Easter Egg. I have created a "tiki charm" prefab out of small brushes, and custom textures to be my "targets", and they are scattered throughout my map. I have also created a "tiki charm temple" (If you haven't guessed already my map is tropical themed). In the temple are important things such as the final teleporter to my map, a buyable ending, and PAP. I already have a text string display at the beginning of the map briefing the player on what he/she needs to do, here's where I need someones help:
How would I go about:
-Creating a text string pop up when near a trigger on the charm saying "Hold (x) to Activate Tiki Charm"
-Once all charms are active, open a door
EXTRA:
-once all charms are active, create the hissing sound and screen shaking just like when activating the 3rd telporter on a Der Riese - Style map (I already have teleportes, the script is all there, would it be as simple as a copy/paste?)
-A small counter on the HUD created when 1 of 5 tiki charms have been activated, and destroyed once all 5 have been activated
Thank you in advanced for reading if you got this far, I appreciate it. Like I said, any help would be much appreciated, and the two extras were merely out of curiosity of their difficulty to implement. If anyone thinks they can help me with this, I'd love to credit you for your work. Thank You!

Hey all, Quick question to those of you who map a lot. I've been mapping for about a year now, so I like to think I have a pretty good grasp of what all the textures under "tools" are used for, and I'm aware of what "Caulk" does, but I'm curious. Why does everyone build their objects out of Caulk, then re-texture? Is it so they can leave textures that will never be seen "invisible" and save game resources? Honestly, I've always just used the textures I wanted, and never bothered with that step, as it just seemed unnecessary to me. are there any major benefits to using Caulk? Am I making a mistake not using it? My PC can basically run anything, so I never notice frame-rate differences, so if it makes a difference in frame-rate, I wouldn't know. Thanks! 
Anyone know if there has been an "electric cherry" prefeb/port from black ops 2 yet? I know there are a couple sets of prefabs readily available and easy to install from black ops 1, but has anyone ported Electric Cherry from BO2? I feel like it may be more difficult to get working with the electric animation/etc. But it would be AWESOME to have in WAW zombies.
Forgive me if it's already been ported and available somewhere obvious. I haven't seen anything yet though, and I don't have the knowledge to port it myself (by any means) Thanks!

Hey All,
I'm currently working on a map set on an island, so at any point in the map where the player is more than ~32 grid points above sea level, they can see below the 180 degree mark on the sky-box (the stretched ugly part). It isn't a major deal, except there is one point in my map where you can travel up a large tower, and at the top, this is VERY clearly visible. Is there anyway to make the skybox have a larger "FOV" so to speak? If I have to make my own skybox, It would be worth it, but I absolutely hate the look of the stretched skybox from that height.
Thanks!
