Give SCV air attack/iscript help

[SidKaldor]

I've through IskatuMesk's tutorials and frankly iscript still confuses the hell out of me. DatEdit is similar to the good old stardraft, and programs like WinMPQ and Firegraft were simple enough to grasp, but when it comes to iscript I'm totally lost. I was wondering if I was starting on a simpler level such as giving the science vessel an attack or give units like scv or zealot an air attack how would I go about doing that?

For the SCV, it would be as simple as directing the air header (the part that says [NONE] to the ground attack thread. For the vessel, you'll need to write a new thread and direct those headers to that thread. The vessel would also need some dat changes to accompany that (assuming the vessel has no hard-coded AI issues, which it might)

This guide I posted on TL talks a bit about the iscript in terms of absolute basics.
