The video tutorials were a great help for me and they cover what you need(unless you can't figure out how to draw your own character... then you should post some current art and ask for help with that)

dont worry, i suck at making characters
what i suggest...... search for sprites on google or yahoo, these will give u ripped sprites
OR ask somebody 2 make you some on the site. also on the AGS homepage there is a tutorial on making BACKGROUNDS, this might be helpful.
as for the shotgun problem, you need the animation of the person using the shotgun.
after you get this, make it into a view. then lets say the shotgun is an object, you can do
function hHotspot1_UseInv()
{
cMan.LockView(12); //the shotgun shooting view
cMan.animate(0, 0, eOnce, eBlock, eForewards);
cMan.UnlockView
}
but of course someone else could probably explain it better :=
It should also be added that there is no pre-made functionality for the shotgun using ammo, hurting enemies, the player being able to pick up health packs and ammo packs, and other shooter-related mumbo-jumbo: If you plan to make gunfight an important part of your game, you'll need to script at least the basic stuff.

To add to that, I'd suggest checking out the sticky "Can I make an RPG in AGS?". Your game may not be an RPG, but it's very helpful for making any type of non/hybrid-adventure in AGS.
