Scripting tutorials from ground up?

[xPaveway 10]

Hello all,

I'm really interesting in creating some awesome coop missions. I played a lot of OFP back in the day and did make some missions to play on LAN with my brothers. I remember creating a simple respawn script for vehicles in OFP.

Thats where my experience ends however. I don't really even remember how to write scripts for these BIS games. Are there any tutorials out there that explain how to use scripts from the ground up?

Some basic things I don't understand fully are:

-Where do you write these scripts and how do you put them in the missions?

-What is the basic syntax structure?

-How do you reference objects?

-How are scripts triggered? How do they work in the game world?

This forum does not seem to have a sticky explaining the basics of scripting. I'd be happy to write up a tutorial for ArmA 2 scripting, I just don't even know where to begin myself.

Thanks
