Nice one, looks like it could be useful thanks.
I know you said you won't be doing locality issues in your guide but is there ANY chance of it happening? as that is where a lot of people who are new to scripting mess up.

[Taurus]

Hi, yes, but it was just a starter document

There will be more advanced topics covered too, like running serveral scripts alongside eachother, setting vehicle variables and such.

Thanks bud. I've been trying to find one of these for a long, long time.

Taurus,

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is a great document bound to grow!

Have you consider including in it many of the tips posted here?

This document could grow into the ArmA2 Scripting Bible!

Thanks a million again!

All the very best, Splicer.

[Taurus]

Thanks for the feedback all.

Splicer I'm planing on extending the variable(data type) section to include some examples of how to use them, for example iterate over arrays, setting arrays and so forth. And the more advanced things too ofc as promised.

The tips and examples on this forum is to specific to a current setup of a mission and I don't think it'll do any good for someone new.

Btw I updated the document now if anyone would be interested.

Awesome, thanks.
Great guide, and I'm looking forward to updates!

Check this out, it has a lot of things about basic editor and scripting, as well as commonly requested things.

Though it was made before Arma 2, all commands and things are still relevant.

Thx for this tutorial, Taurus!
Put it on our tutorials section at Assault Mission Studio.

Hey nice tutorials Taurus

Well i too use/used some very intresting and important tutorials back in the day's as i started to learn scripting.

The tutorials was made by snYpir the founder of E.C.P. and a really genius.
The look of the tutorials isn't the best ( simple .txt files ) but the important is what they include.

Check them out if you are really interested in learning how to script in a resource and engine friendly way.

Bad for me, that i found thouse tutorials way too late ( after i had found out most stuff explained in the tutorials on a very hard way by myself ) but after reading them i was like "Damn everything he wrote is absolutly right."

So check them out if you like to lear from a professional.
