Sad questions make happy persons :) ( I suppose :? )

Scripting is a way to control certain objects in your map real-time and allows interaction of map objects with players, like a player planting a bomb.

You can do nifty things with scripting - especially for single player maps since multiplayer scripting is very limited.

A map doesn't require scripting to work properly but it's generally a good idea to at least add a basic script for your map. It's not uncommon for DM maps to have a script that is pretty much only used to define the scoreboard image, ambient sounds and some stuff to make the map 'compatible' for roundbased games.

Mohradiant ships with some documentation about scripting, though it is not very elaborate.
