Title: a good guide for scripting Arma3
Post by: Renders on October 20, 2015, 11:06:51 AM

hei all! I was trying to get messy with scripting arma and found myself crying alone, so i found this:
it's an interesting and very basic way of knowing how arma looks for his scripts, and how you should look them to make it work.

This is a tutorial for all those who have no idea how to start scripting. Anyone with half the knowledge of Arma scripting will not require this, it was written as a complete beginners guide and nothing more. The tutorial leads you through a very simple process of making small scripts to carryout certain actions. I've done my best to make this as simplistic as possible and not to confuse anyone. A few people have seen it and have found it very useful, so i thought id finish the first chapter and post it here. Plan is to move on to show how to make a MP game. This is purely something to give back to the community, which over the last 5-6 years I have thoroughly enjoyed.

This is from Fokkers, a group

I'm working on one.  I actually have an idea for an entire series of missions based around a central group of people, but we'll have to see how this first one goes.
