The title's pretty self-explanatory, I guess
So let's say I'd like my Infested Kerrigan to hurl the Guardian's Acid Spores at her enemies. If I want to change her attack, do I just need to rely on Datedit only, or do I need to do some iscripting as well? I don't plan to make an attack sequence or randomized attacks. Just wanna change her basic Claws attack to something ranged.
On that note, is there somewhere here where I can get a neat intro to iscripting? I have Mesk's tutorials saved to my computer but I feel that one's a bit too hefty for me since I'm a beginner. Any pointers?
And thanks in advance.
None.
Edit: Looks like I was wrong about point (1). Sorry.
(1) No, all you need is basic DatEdit stuff to make Kerrigan attack with acid spores. Though I believe the cooldown would need to be a bit big (22-ish?) because her attack animation is so slow. Also if you want to make her attack air units, you need iscript.
(2) Links to
Modcrafters Wiki and
BroodWarAi.com wiki. Note: these sites are somewhat outdated and are imperfect; personally, I found the documentation in IceCC to be most helpful. It helps to look at the default iscript source to see how Blizzard did things.

None.
1) You MAY need to do iscripting for Infested Kerrigan in addition to dat editing. Some if not all melee units use an attackmelee opcode if I recall correctly, which will NOT display projectile graphics! (use "attackwith 1 (or 2)" or "attack" instead)
2) Feel free to use examples from your fellow modders!

Kerrigan does use attackmelee:

So you will need to change that attackmelee 1 0 to attackwith 1
