Radiant is for Quake2, Quake3 and Doom3 engine games.

Anyway, if you want to ask editing questions, use the editing forum.

Short answer: Look at how a door is built from a map you did in WinDEU and do the same thing in DB. Right-clicking something gives you its properties for you to chang, or read a tutorial.

There are DB tutorials linked from the editing forum I think.

Long answer: make a sector with door linedef types on the lines you want to open the door (front/back). Set the roof height = floor height for the door to start closed. Set "Lower Unpegged" on the sidedefs of on the door frame to keep the doortrak texture from scrolling.
