Tutorial Guide to Scripting for Arma 3

Recommended Posts

I am new to Arma 3 Alpha, the closed I have gotten to play Arma is DayZ, mod in which I had to purchase Arma 2 Combined edition. Since the release of Arma 3 Alpha, I have been enjoying myself. However I am wondering whether or not there is a Tutorial guide of some sort on scripting for Arma. I have downloaded and reading a guide which is wonderful, give me the basics I need to design and plan missions. However I would like to be able to understand some of the scripts that I am using in my mission.

There are quite a few great scriptors out there, I made use of a vehicle.sqf file for respawning vehicles when they are either destroyed or abandon, however I have been asked whether I could heal the vehicle once they are respawned after being abandoned/deserted, and I am going through the script so that I can understand what the script is doing, so that I can put in commands that allows for the damage to vehicles that are deserted and respawn are back to fully functional.

I have been referring to the scripting commands list and the new scripting Commands for Arma 3, through the post the links to wiki. I get a basic understanding of what the commands do, but how to structure the script is what I am looking for, when and where to put the command that resets the damage to a deserted vehicle once it is respawn etc that will improve my mission designing skills. So if anyone could direct me to a good tutorial on scripting where it actually take you through both ingame editor and the scripting process would be much appreciated.

The vehicle.sqf script was written by Trophe of Ostgota Ops. Thanks for making the available.

Any assistance given is greatly appreciated.
