Like Armed Assault, you can not use brackets to make a multi-lines comment. But, in a sqf file, you can make a comment as follow : comment " first line seconde line";

If a file is loaded with preprocessFile, execVM or spawn (but not loadFile), you may also define C-like comments using // ... and /*...*/.

comment can also be used to create comments inside trigger activation fields where // or /*...*/ don't work.
