I prefer the Notepad++ ArmA 2 plugin although I used ArmA Edit when I started off for many months before I switched. I would recommend trying them all though, it is usually about what suits you and what you feel comfortable with!

A local variable is only visible to that script or block of code on the same client depending on where it is defined and is presented with a "_" such as _myLocalVar = 0; A global variable is visible to all the scripts etc on the same client, presented without the "_" such as myGlobalVar = 0; A public variable is visible to all clients, variables are usually made public with publicVariable. There is probably a better way to explain it but I have been drinking.
