There are some single player level tutorials which tell you how to copy a script, like this one:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4315 There's nothing that really explains scripting that I've seen, it's just tutorials which have you copy scripts until you can understand what's going on.
The hardest part for me was where to put it. It goes in the folder Halo Custom Edition/data/your map name/scripts, and when you save the notepad, you have to select all files and make it a .hsc file.
You have to define your type of script. This runs a linear script that terminates at its end:
(script startup scriptname
(commands go here)
)
This runs a looping script that starts over at it's end:
(script continuous scriptname
(comands go here)
)
To find commands, use the halo scripting bible:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2809 Most of the commands are explained, and I find inspiration for new scripts just from browsing the scripting bible.
I hope that helps, and good luck!
