What you are trying to do can get really complicated and if not done properly be a disaster!
Sounds like the same procedure for building a shower pan is more along the line of what you need. There are many Youtube videos for how that is done. I just did one, it turned out well, but what a job!
It involves installing a vinyl liner, and covering that with "sand topper mix" mortar. It is mixed very dry, packed into place and formed with a level to get proper drainage. It is then covered with tile.
