Do Arma 1 scripts work on arma 2?

[Archamedes 10]

As the title says really. Been following some online tutorials but some of the really useful ones are made around arma 1 and i was wondering if there is a conflict or problem with using arma 1 scripts on arma 2

There are minimal differences. One worth mentioning is that ARMA 2 disallows suspending (sleep/waitUntil) in called functions. Such functions have to be spawned.

It'll depend on the commands used of course, but for the most part they should work. Arma 2 has some new scripting commands, but pretty much all the old ones should work as they did in previous versions of the game. There's also changes related to content, so if you're using a script that adds Arma1 weapons to a unit, then it probably won't work since some of the weapons may not exist in Arma 2.
