How good are you at scripting and mapping? That will determine what level of difficulty there is to do anything.

If you are completely noobish at scripting, then you better look at tutorials before you attempt to do anything scripting related, and then practice your syntax and stuff without getting too complicated in your attempts. Trust me, I personally tried to script for Call of Duty when I was only 13 - not an easy task, mind you, and it took me a lot of time to understand what I was doing and clean up my scripting.

You should always start small. Open up a map that Frictional Games map. Look at how they laid out their map. Then, make a room in the LevelEditor. Don't add any scripting things, just make a room and get it playable so you can move around and interact with objects. Just try to make a great atmosphere.

When scripting, the same principle applies. Think small scale for the beginning. Make a key that can open a door. Have a door that slams shut when you approach it, etc. They are not hard to implement, you just need to know how to begin. You'll receive a lot of errors when scripting, it's natural, you just have to know how to debug them. We can help with that.

Now, to answer your questions:

1. Depends on the event. The ones you described are extremely simple, with the door opening/closing being easier than the book falling.

2. One line of code will do the trick. It's just a simple function that controls it.

3. I'm no "professional scripter" (yet at least, I want to become one). But I can handle it, so yes, you can. You just have to learn how to do it.

4. Yes, you just have to not get frustrated and expect errors.

Check the Frictional Games wiki for some tutorials. I'll link a few handy ones that I like:
