Check out the tutorials at the awesome OFPEC website:

http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/admin_list2.php?type=tu&cat=xyz

Many of them were written for Operation Flashpoint, but 95% of material still applies to ARMA.

Here's one freebie for you: To have a unit start without weapons, put this command in the unit's init field:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">removeAllWeapons this;

Scripting commands for ArmA:

1. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">unitname playmove "AmovPercMstpSlowWrflDnon_AmovPsitMstpSlowWrflDnon"

thats one way of making them sit, but you would have to loop it or something, you could also use the "action" command or "switchmove" (see below for link to all script commands)

2. make a car named taxi, in the taxi's waypoint where the player is supposed to get in, put this in the condition field:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">player in taxi

im not 100% sure that will work but it should

3. removeallweapons this

this also removes the "throw", so if you were to equip the person with a grenade or any other weapon he throws he wont be able to use it.

4. not sure how to make the lip sync file for the .OGG sound file, but in my mission i made two guys looking at each other in a talking animation with an empty sound file to make their lips move.

what i did for the talk animation is make an AI unit (call it loon1 for example) and make a TALK waypoint. now in the "on activation" of the talk waypoint put

loon1 switchmove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_talking"

it will look like hes talking but the lips wont move, check the threads below.

5. dont know, but i would think you record your conversation or whatever and save it as an OGG file, then somehow make a .lip file for it. next you can add its information to your DESCRIPTION.EXT file of the mission and you will be able to use it. check the threads above

6. yeah thats another thing im not sure about

heres the script commands
