'Custom script' is a scripting language known as Jass; when the editor compiles a map being saved, all of your triggers are converted to jass and assembled into a single file of text. You can write jass directly by creating a trigger, selecting it, going to the edit menu, and selecting 'convert to custom text.'

Most Jassers these days have also adopted a bunch of extra formatting/syntax options known collectively as 'vJass,' which require a special jass compiler which doesn't come with the normal wc3 editor so that you can save maps using vJass. A version of the wc3 editor with a vJass-capable compiler can be downloaded here, or on the same site you can find the Jass New Gen Pack, which combines this and many other features.



A ton of jass tutorials exist, but I recommend you start here once you have one of the aforementioned world editor programs up and running.
