I think it is quite obvious that what Calani provided was simply an example of using the triggeraction and addweapon commands in conjunction; a skeleton script, if you will. As long as the author of the thread understands this, no harm can come of it. Besides, are you suggesting she post a fully functional, fully secure script for him/her? Now that would be breaking the rules.
Just about every programming guide there is starts you out with writing "Hello world" to the screen. The guide doesn't explain complex concepts like security, addresses, or ways that people hack your program until much later (if at all). Security and scripting are two different things. Learning scripting first is essential to understanding security. The author didn't ask for a secure script, just an example of weapons being added.
