In basic?

Script is an external file, which you place in your ..\OFP\users\userName\mission\missionName folder. The script file can be/is built up by the different commands available.

If you make bigger, more complex scripts, you'll notice that it's done pretty much as in simple programming, with the use of variables, and such things.

Most people use NotePad to write their scripts in. To save you file in the correct format ( .sqs ), you just write the name of the script in quotes, with the .sqs ending, like this:

"MyScript.sqs"

Well,, you use scripting for everything

Nah,, really. Basicly everything you can do in the editor, and allot more, can be done with external script files. You can move around units, you can simulate mortar/artillery, making cutscenes and so much much more. There's no limit for what you can do really.

Go to OFP editing center, and check out their "code snipet" area. There you'll get a pretty good idea how you can take advantage of scripts.
