Besides the fact that there are more of these topics than any other topic on this forum, let me provide you with Badspot's answer:

If you can't figure this out on your own you will never be able to do it.

I will, however, tell you that you must make a model with a modeling program, then make a script using something like Notepad.

For maps, use the mission editor.

Don't expect to make all of those things right away though, it takes a lot of time, effort, and practice to make something.

THAT DOESNT HELP ME come on just somebody give me a tutorial or something!!

There is a loving tutorial about three posts down. Make SOME effort before coming here.

He just told you - MAKE A MODEL with a 3D modeling program THEN MAKE A SCRIPT with Notepad.
There.

Scripting and modeling is a process which takes time and effort, something we don't want to teach to someone who just asks and expects a stranger to show them. 

Well can somebody just give me a link please ill take LOTS of time i really really really wanna make add-ons, i mean seriously i really want to, just someone please give me a link and i have no clue what scripting or any blockland talk! i'm really really new to this kinda thing like making stuff for blockland!

Ok just how do i get a 3D modeling program

Since everyone else here is an ass-hole, let me explain.
The easiest program I have used for modeling is Milkshape 3D. It's not free, but you can use a demo for 30 days with the same features as the full version. You can make a model, and add joints, then export it to DTS.

The script is a part that I doubt you will be able to get on your own. The only thing I can recommend it copying an add-on from the Add-ons folder, and change some stuff in the "Server.cs" file. Use notepad to open it.
I don't want to teach you how to script, and you should probably consider looking up "Torque Script" or something. Maybe there is a website that will teach you about it, and how to use it.
Scripting is difficult, and I wish you the best of luck.
There is no up-to-date tutorial for making Add-ons, so you'll have to figure it out like I did.

Actually, just for you, I made this tutorial.

Actually, I had plans of making it for a long time, but when my post messed up, I gave up because it took so much time.

THANK YOU your a nice guy!

I look forward to seeing you releasing an add-on that will be ultimately failed by Badspot! :D
