Statement

A statement is a piece of scripting code. It is an instruction to the script interpreter and tells it to do something.

Types of Statements

A statement can be:

• value assignment
• control structure
• scripting command

Value Assignment

A value assignment to a variable.

_variable = ...

Control Structure

Any control structure including its blocks.

if (_value > _limit) then
{
    hint "oh no";
}

Note for advanced readers: in OFP/ArmA/VBS scripting language control structures are normal scripting commands. The distinction is only logical, not like in most imperative programming languages, where control statements are implemented in the core language grammar. The "controlling" done by them is implemented by accepting code as an argument. The complex control structures like "while ... do ..." are implemented using helper types, like While Type.

Command

Any scripting command including its arguments.

player sideChat "hello";
