How most scripters have learned to script in the past is messing with scripts that already exist. Messing with a script that already exists. That's why I would point to my movement class. It's not really integrable into the default movement anymore, but it's easy to make it that way with slight modifications. It might be better to present a script that's similar to what they are looking for but might not be quite what they want. That way they could start to learn.
