whenever i checked the 2 units in 1 egg button in DataEdit(ex. Hydralisk). the SC crashes. i look in the iceCC yet i dont know what will i do in iceCC?
also what will i do to hasten the move speed of units whose flingy are under iscript?
next now that i can manage to make siege tanks to attack air, can i now edit their weapons?(ex. change article cannon to burst laser)
lastly the Glave Wurm(again! that bouncy thing!) i cant see that in iceCC(iv'e look decompiled mutalisk but i cant see any keword that resembles to Glave Wurm so i dont know where this bouncy behavior lies.
and one more thing in replacing GRP files. i tried some GRP from other mods and use it on my own mod yet SC crashes(the good example is in my avatar. The Gundam ZZeta GRP from GundamCentury. it works fine yet if it moves SC crashes).

1. The 2 in 1 needs a .lo? file set. Check the zergling images.dat entry, the .lob file is what it needs to work.
2. To make iscripted units move faster, increase the number for the move x command in the script. IceCC to compile/decompile them.
3. Yes
4. This is the script:

Bouncing weapons are determined by the headers they have. That's what you'll need to mimic in your weapon for it to bounce.
5. They normally crash SC when a non-existant frameset is called by playfram. You'll need to edit the iscript to play the proper frames when walking.
None.
I've tried the guide by BSTRhino but his guide is kinda outdated(the ex. values are "Unknown511GndAttkInit" and so on). By following his guide and changing the outdated values, here it is(i used phase disruptor of dragoon):
Yet it still doesn't work...i wonder whats wrong(i also changed the phase disruptor behavior to "bounce")

PS: i don't know how you make that "code box" thing.
None.
That iscript looks correct. However, iscript isn't my strongest suit in terms of modding.
There might be other things to do with the dat editing...compare against the glave wurm is my suggestion.
None.
at last! i finally finished the iscript for bouncing phase disruptor(it works)
now on to the next problem. this is the iscript of a firebat that can attack both air and ground but whenever i change the weapon of firebat(ex. longbolt for air) it still fires its flamethrower that doesn't reach its target(it follows the range of longbolt so flamethrower attack is afar from its reach);

Okay, the firebat is a question that isn't too hard to answer. It requires looking closely at the attack script.

The first important part that most people miss is the lack of a nobrkcodeend. This is because it is contained in the flamethrower graphic. That graphic is created with the imgol 421 0 0 # FlameThrower (thingy\flamer.grp) line. Remove that line and it'll get rid of that flamethrower, but you'll also remove the nobrkcodeend that is keeping the script working properly. To fix that, you place it back in before ignorerest in the firebat script. I'd also add a gotorepeatattk before ignorerest too, just to be sure. It doesn't hurt to have it.
The rest is toying around with the attkshiftproj commands. The way things sound, you may only want them as a single attack. If so, your iscript may end up looking like this(presented as an example, but you should work this out on your own...)

Of course stuff like the waits and frames is all dependent on how you want it to look, but you should get the idea.
the broodling, bst's doesn't compile because it uses old opcode names. as for yours, I don't see why and noticeable problems. didn't look over it super carefully though.
None.
the problem about the broodling is whenever it kills a unit it reproduce itself like a virus and whenever theres a enemy nearby it will reproduce itself until SC crashes and also is can see the sprite of spawn broodling(the tiny dot explosion that queen fires if you use the said skill) while the broodlings are walking. all i wanted is that broodlings can reproduce themselves in a very small chances not everytime and when it already spawn himself to enemy units, that said broodling's iscript will be disabled(even tough i don't know if it is possible to do that.
another one is this battlecruiser iscript. i placed a random attack that it fires hellfire missiles but it has error:

is there a way to compile BSTRhino's iscripts(cause there are more brilliant iscript from his mod) and what are code generators? its the files in Jscript format that also included in BSTRhino's mod.
None.
BSTRhino's code is outdated. You are going to either have to update the code or uncompile from his iscript.
The problem is the gotorepeatattk opcode doesn't immediately goto the repeat header. You'll need a direct goto after it to allow it to compile. If you goto the idle script, you should be okay.
None.
It is a common misconception that opcode is a goto, but it is not one, so don't treat it as such. It only signals to SC that the attack should repeat after the cooldown if the unit still has a target.
is there a way to compile BSTRhino's iscripts(cause there are more brilliant iscript from his mod)
Yes, with IceCC 1.3 use classic_icecc.exe instead of just icecc.exe to compile the script. If you are using IceCCUI, configure it to use classic_icecc.exe instead of icecc.exe for the compiler. I created that version at IskatuMesk's request (either that, or just because that was why he wasn't using 1.3).

but whenever i open that said file, it just open in a blink of an eye(i can somewhat see that it is a MS-Dos program)
w8 a sec..are you the ShadowFlare the creator of WinMpq?
None.
I believe so, she also created the .dlls that most people use to make their programs for SC.
Make sure you are opening the .jar file. There are tons of .exes, but they dont do anything.
How are you currently using IceCC? If it is through IceCCUI, then change the configuration to use classic_icecc.exe
If you do not have a classic_icecc.exe file, download the current version at
http://sfsrealm.hopto.org/dwnload.html#IceCC

AH! now i understand. theres a bunch of .exe there that confuse me a bit
now about code generators. what are those files do in SC?

Nothing, those are javascript files that you use to output code and put into a unit's iscript:
http://www.staredit.net/wiki/Tips_for_Tedious_Coding
ahh..okay but it only said how to make one now how will i implement this jscript files on my mod?
again back to the battlecruiser problem. i dont understand what DiscipleOfAdun said(sorry i dont know what are opcode, goto and things the he said. i learned by imitating on what is said on guides on iscript then apply it to other units like this battlecruiser that its iscript structure is far from my understanding...in other words im still a noob)
now to simplify the question what should i do to make this thing works on battlecruiser iscript?
randcondjmp 25 Hellfire
Hellfire:

useweapon 10

on the guide that i've read this is what is said(by holocost from warboards):
"The placement of the __1e_condjmp code can be placed almost anywhere, but it's important to put it somewhere before the animation ends, i.e. somewhere before gotorepeatattk."
in some units(ex.broodling, marine) this quote works but not in battlecruiser.

You save the the file as *.js and run it. It creates a *.txt file that you copy and paste the code from into your unit's animation.

And just so you know, the useweapon opcode (opcodes are available commands that you can use. If you have looked at a file with all of them listed, you will notice that they have hexidecimal values) only uses the weapon from the death animation. You cannot have a sprite travel to its target with useweapon.
AH! now i understand. theres a bunch of .exe there that confuse me a bit
So did you figure out how to make it use the version that is for compiling the old scripts? (and did you have any success compiling them?)
None.
Yeah! i actually compiled some of BSTRhino's iscript and the dancing firebat from the examples in iceCC.
And also on the 2 units on 1 egg properties on DataEdit. i finally able to manage it, by using the zergling birth's Landing Dust(zerg\zzebirth.lob) to other units in image.dat. and in conclusion that this part is not relevant in Iscript.

so my idea(about battlecruiser-randomly-fires-missiles) will never work after all...?

You can, use the ground and air weapons for weapons that you want to travel, and use the useweapon command to use things like gauss rifles. And use the turncwise and turnccwise to your liking.
