help with compiling script

I read SOL's tut, so I get the gist of it, but he barely touches on what most tutorials elaborate fully on- what things you can do. So, basically I'm stuck with taking away gravity to maps.

But now I realize I can't even do that. I don't know how the script compiler works. I've toyed with it, but I never knew what I was doing, where I was injecting, anything. Could someone just give me a step-by-step guide that starts with opening the map and ends with a fully injected script where it's supposed to be that works? Thanks.

Heres how to compile the zero grav script(all others will work the same way)

1.)Open your map in entity
2.)Click plugins then script compiler
3.)Enter this code into the textbox exactly as shown(if theres a mistake it wont compile)

Code: Select all

(script startup uber_gravity_hack 
 (begin 
  (physics_set_gravity 0) 
 ) 
)

4.)Hit compile scripts
5.)Resign and play the map

No need to add a chunk or reference it at all? No need for hex, nothing? Ok, thanks.

I know, I've been gone for a while, but I'm back. summer's never been a good time for me because my family and I drive around 1,200 miles on various trips, which we do not bring any competent computers to. But I'm back and very interested in the power of scripting, and I'll find a way to work it between school and homework.
SOL's tut also comes with some text files. Is one a list of pre-defined commands? That would help immensely.

get the script decomplier in haloplugins. Open SP maps and look at scripts its the best way. Then dont use sols tut for scripts instead use the entity script compiler.
