As for using the console, you could learn the Lua programming language for the basics. Or, you could use some simpler commands, which are used with a ! before the command.
This is how it goes:
!set ctype clne watr
Let's take it apart.
! - this is the letter that tells the console that you're using old commands, not Lua.
set - This is what the command does. set is what you'll be using the most.
ctype - this is the property that you'll be setting. In this case, it's the ctype you spoke of earlier.
clne - this is for which element the ctype to set. These console commands work for every element on the map of the same type, or in this case, all the CLNE.
watr - this is the new value of the ctype.
After entering this, every CLNE on the screen will clone WATR (water).
