Introduction

Scripting is a very important tool in creating good missions or addons. Scripts can be excuted from a trigger, or in the init 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 the .sqs can still function, although it has been depreciated, if you are new to scripting you should try to script in the .sqf.

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

[argument] exec "myscript.sqs" (for SQS scripts)
nul = [argument] execVM "myscript.sqf" (for SQF scripts)

As there is a very keen interest in the newly added ArmA 2 scripting commands, the following list was created so that fans could easily find these new commands: ArmA 2: New Scripting Commands
