script for a scenario

[Derserker]

i want to make a scenario with a racing track. i decided to have machines automatically use create solid fuel, however i can't use them because the map does not start with the required research. i know there is an answer for something similar but it requires writing a script. My problem is that i don't even know where to start when it comes to writing scripts can someone point me in the right direction?
