I am having trouble using Ice because I cant figure out how to change which offset the script goes to after it done. Also, How can I add in randomizing functions into the script? (ex. Wait random # 1-3 ticks) Should I be using IceCC or can Ice do this too?

ice can do that 2 like IceCC

Are there any tutorials? becuase all the ones I've seen dont explain this.

There is one ICE tutorial.
Two words: Use. IceCC.
I dont see why people need to use ICE, its more complicated.

Ok then i explain some , but first, plz understand me if my english is poor ( i can not speak english verywell
cause i'm korean and live in Seoul South Korea so my main language is Koean )

ok, right~! then i start some tutorial about Ice

1. basic knowhow for before the beginning
first , running Ice and start load custom isript.bin files or load Default file on File menus of Ice
then u can start scripting now~!

select unit in Header taps or typing units id number what u want change thing and click to search by header btn
then u can see unit images in GRP prieview Tap

u can see each offset numbers of headers in Entry Header tap that number is what header used that scripts contents
so if u change offset number then that header action's scripts will change to that numbers script

2. way to change and goto offset
ok, i will explain to an example is "Terran marines" in this section

goto "Animation Scripts" tap and are there many animaitons headers
that animations exist each offset numbers
u can see find that numbers on "script offset" line that position of layout is lower of right side

ok first , choose "Initial Animation" in Animations drop down list
and then showed operation code sripts in center contents box
each code line has own offset number too like animation headers can find that number on "op Offset:" line

let's see the " Terran marine's Initial Animation"


u can find three offset codes in here that offset codes deferent operation to eachother but both action will be goto other offset

check offset codes in scripts contents
"jump to offset 28964" -> this will go to other animations at randomly , ramdom time is values number -> "value[?] 25 "

and if u want find that offset number where are going ?

typing that number "28964" in "Goto offset" input box and click "goto" btn
then u can see changed srcipt contents and find changed number "28964" on "scripts offset" line
that mean is srcipt offset goto one after the other codes must exist where are going next offset code or finishing operation codes

let's see other offset codes at last line
"Go to offset 28928" -> this code mean is where are going next animation when this script action finished

and u can go that offset directly, select that code line and just double click
then u can jump to that offset
"Go to offset" operation always can jump by that ways

if u want change jump offset ? then select offset number area and click one time,
then number color be changes other color and u can edit that number

Remember, offset number is linked animations contents so u may write number without error in animation ( this mean is that unit must be can running all operation codes with changed offset)

see "Go to offset 28928" again,
and double click that line and jump to that offset
then scripts change showed that deleted upper codes some lines as compared with Initial Animation

that is "Other" header in IceCC (when unit has not doing anything action for a while)

if u want change that scripts codes then u edit codes ur self firsthand
or otherway is goto "Entry Header" tap and change Initial Animation
section's number as other unit's "Initial Animation" offset number such as zealots etc...

the way is click [...] like this button and popup "Set Animation windows"
select units header as u want things and select that's animations too , click to [ok] button then "Initial Animation" offset number
be changed and u can see changed operations codes in srcipts contents box of Animation Scripts Taps

Remember again, u may write offset number without error , this is very important about crash game
if changed operation code be can not running for Terran Marines (such as "unable play frames number" or written wrong id numbers)

3. randomizing functions in scripts
this section is about how can add new operation codes

goto Animation Scripts tap
and u can see a lot of buttons, input box and contents area form

1 . Animation [...........................................] (dropdown list)
this is showed about unit what has animation headers

recorded animations is linked to situation of "Entry Header" setting
if each Entry Header item be registered then showed that animations in Animation dropdown list

2. scripts contents form box
this box is showed what header written a operation codes
and u can edit the value each opcodes , copy paste and delete code too

3.command buttons
there are many command buttons , this buttton will creat new code and command other operation
----------
buttons
----------
[New] - > this is write new operation code in Scripts lines

click that and popup "New Opcode" windows and select opcodes as u wanna write things and click to [ok] then created line and new code in Scripts contents form

[copy] -> copy to selected line codes

[paste] -> paste codes (there are some bug in ice u may click twowise at first time)

[up] -> selected codes is move up one line

[jump] -> scripts header jump to selected offset codes

[Delete] -> Delete code line

[Cut] -> same to Del

[Hex] -> Hex edit

[Down] -> selected codes is move down one line

[Back] -> go to offset ago

4.Offset search area
in lower of right side , u can see search offset area
----------------------------------
Goto Offset [ ] [Goto] -> this is search offset written numbers
Script Offset : -> this is showed current Animation header's offset number
Op Offset : this is showed current operation code's offset number

Detail of [New] button jump to popup "New Opcode" windows

if u want write new operation code like "play frame 17" then u may click [New] btn
and choose that opcode in opcoed drop-down list and change frame number value

All operation codes are be writed like that ways

i can't explain now about each opcodes because u can find and search out that opcodes meaning with original scripts of other units

ok, this tutorial is not rub a person the right way and my english not good i know that plz understand me ~!

anyway i hope this tut help to beginner Ice

Thank you very much nirvanajung, your instructions explained everything I need to know.

Oh and mouse77, I am trying to learn IceCC I just started with it a week ago.

Right~! iceCC is more efficiency works but if use play frame codes ice be better than iceCC cause edit frame number and preview functions are very useful
so i use both sametimes

I think IceCC is more complicated than ICE.

ICE is fairly easy to use, I don't see any problems with it.

Why would you use 0x37 when it's an undefined opcode?

If you know what it does, share some information please.

What if what it does was found? You would not be able to use it.

ICECC is a LOT better. It comes with its own instructions, and the scripting language isn't all that complicated. Plus, God only knows shat will happen when you mess around with the offset numbers in ICE. That's not a problem in ICECC. "TerranMarineGndAtk" is much more descriptive than "3****" (Whatever it is).
