How do I script up something that wants you to escort someone/something important, like protecting Major Grillo? Then how do I script up something that will fail the mission once he/it is killed/destroyed?

Ok, that's one of the most complicated things that are possible with the scripting language. It's very difficult to make a friendly lead the way. Bear in mind he has to follow a certain path and meanwhile has to attack enemies. If you really want to try, take a look at global/friendly.scr.
Making a mission fail as soon as the person is dead, is easy. You just have to start a thread (a separate scripting process) that waits till the character is killed. Then that thread will execute the lose code.

So does it also mean like this script?
Let's say my VIP is called Grillo.:
If(IsAlive $Grillo)
$Grillo waittill death
thread missionfail
///////////////
missionfail:
iprintIn "Mission failed. Grillo has been killed."
wait 1
exec global/klled.scr (can't find right texture
)
end

I personally thought of something like this:
Code: Select all
main:
// setup code here
level waittill spawn
// any code here
if(isAlive $grillo)
$grillo thread grillo_killed
// any more code here
end
grillo_killed:
$grillo waittill death
iprintlnbold_noloc "Mission failed. Grillo has been killed."
wait 3
missionfailed
end
