Cheats – ArmA: Armed Assault
Overview
All of the following cheats require you to hold Left Shift down and then press the Numpad - (minus) key. Then let go and type the appropriate cheat code (capitalization doesn't matter). Nothing is displayed while you are typing, however the key strokes are being recorded and a quick confirmation might shortly flash on the screen upon successful entry.
Cheats

TOPOGRAPHY
Generates a map in EMF vector format. The file is (not) always created at the root directory of the C: drive (Windows 7 with UAC might put the file in Virtualstore, "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Virtualstore" ). The output file is generated when the map is next viewed in game. German Users: Enter TOPOGRAPHZ instead.
EXPORTNOGRID
(Available from Arma 3 v1.43.129765) Just like TOPOGRAPHY, but generates a grid-less map in EMF format XXNAMEXX_nogrid.emf. More on topography export [1]
GETALLGEAR
Entering this cheat will execute statement defined by onCheat property in description.ext. For example:
// description.ext

Unlocking Missions
To unlock stand-alone mission (older games), locate your ArmA profile first (it will be named (username).ArmAProfile, and will be either in My Documents\ArmA or in My Documents\ArmA Other Profiles. Open it in a text editor and change the section:
activeKeys[] = {};
to:
activeKeys[] = {"M00","M01","M02","M03","M04","M05","M06","M07","M08","M09","M10","TT01","TT02","TT03","TT04","TT05","TT06"};
In a more simple way just go to the mission screen press Left Shift down and then press the Numpad - (minus) button and type MISSIONS then revert the last mission.
