thdman1511 4 Posted April 20, 2013 I am wondering if someone can direct me to a good guide to scripting for Arma3, even if it means learning from the start Arma/Arma 2. What I am looking for is a guide that will let me understand the coding that is used in some of the scripts that mission designers use in there mission, as I try to learn by look at the script they create for their mission and try to understand what the script is actually doing with its commands. The scripting structure, when to load the script in etc. I have done some basic scripting, as I want to understand how to manipulate the weather, how to correctly script for support, and understand what I am doing, in case I need to debug the script. I have used a script by Tophe of Ostgota Ops Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.81which comes with a good set of explanation notes and that serve the purpose for my first mission that I created, but I would of like to of been able to write a script myself. I have been going through the editor, and trying to extract class names for each part of the editor. But I am Still learning how to use the interface. I have downloaded the Deluxe Guide to Editing for Arma II by Mr-Murray think the author is, that give some basic scripting and editor information and I have use other guides and youtube tutorials to help get a basic understanding. Jester814 does a really good tutorials, I like his honesty as you does tell us when he doesnt know how to do certain things and admits when he makes a mistake. There are other tutorials out there however there are no voice overs explaining what they are doing. So if someone could guide me to good guide to scripting so that I learn how to do things properly It would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikie boy 18 Posted April 20, 2013 not sure if this is any good to you, started making this when A3 came out - will be updating it as a i go along - hopefully to show how to make a fully working MP game It may have some typos in it, but not the code itself. Been tested and works - It is basic but its a total noob guide from the start https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17725328/Fockers%20Arma%20Scripting.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larrow 2820 Posted April 22, 2013 The BIS Wiki is most likely a good place to start. Try from THIS PAGE and follow all the subject links for further reading especially the ones at the bottom of that page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been tested and works - It is basic but its a total noob guide from the start https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...0Scripting.pdf This is what is needed by those such as myself that have been all over BIS Wiki, and don't know what to do with it. thdman1511 expressed this very nicely, and to both of you I appreciate it. BIS WIKI is a collection of tools and specifics; you must understand the flowchart first. THANKS again!!! Edited April 23, 2013 by wuffman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
