Normally a transaction triggers a scrip, so I would look at
the Transaction code (probably the Create method) and see
how it loads and runs a scrip. This may not work though
because a scrip may expect to run in the context of a
transaction.

It would be better to write the code to do what you want
and then have the scrip call that code. That avoids the
duplication problem.
