Ok,I got scripts and everything like that..how do i enter them to the game?

TIP: read scripting turtials.

i had just the same problems as you at the begin :P but with thanks to godlord, he helped me.
you just have to search the right place to put it, sometimes its hard, i know, i got the same problem ;)
just try it:

if you want to place a scripted spell you do something like this:

Case 1
      ' Home tele
      if GetPlayerMP( Index) > 19 then
            Call PlayerWarp( Index, 1, 9, 6)
            Call PlayerMsg( Index, "Teleported Home", 14)
            Call SetPlayerMP( Index, GetPlayerMP( Index) - 20)
            Call SendMP( Index)
        Else
            Call BattleMsg( index, "Not enough mana!", 12, 0)
        End If

this is an teleport spell, just do in ur main ctr + f and search for 'scripted spell'
then you will find case's the cases says the #number wort.
start always at 1, not what you do 5.

just change the case #5 to #1 ;)

and dont do #1 #3 #2 #5 # 4, but do: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5.
well, i hope this helped you a bit but just use the turtials.. ;)

Scripts are placed under the corresponding sub listed with the script you're trying to use(Sub ScriptedNpc(Index), ect.), on an open case #, before end sub, when applied to scripted NPCs, scripted tiles, scripted items, and scripted spells.

        = The script you're trying to implement, in this case, a scripted spell.

If you're implementing scripts that are pre-made, they'll list which sub you need to place the script under. In most cases, it will be after Sub blahblah(Index), and before Exit Sub, unless you're adding an entirely new function to it(Ex. Godlord's inventory script).

If you're looking to start making scripts yourself, you'll need to look into sad script, tutorials and a list of functions of which can be found under scripting on the forum.
