Scripting is a very important tool in creating good missions or addons. Scripts can be executed from a [[Triggers|trigger]], or in the initialization field of a [[player]] or [[object]], or even executed inside other scripts. A script is a simple text file, with an extension of .sqs or .sqf. In Arma2, .sqs scripts can still function, although .sqs format has been deprecated. If you are new to scripting you should try to script in .sqf. Also, start [[Scripting|here]].

A simple example of executing a script in the player init field would look something like this:


<nowiki>[</nowiki>argument<nowiki>]</nowiki> [[exec]] "myscript.sqs" (for [[SQS syntax|SQS]] scripts)
{{Table/RVScripting}}


nul = <nowiki>[</nowiki>argument<nowiki>]</nowiki> [[execVM]] "myscript.sqf" (for [[SQF syntax|SQF]] scripts)
