What to learn?

[Luna]

Hi

 

So I need some help or advice if you will

 

I run an Epoch server and so far I been doing allright by just copy / pasting stuff and reading the post for the script that I was interested in.

But I like to be able to understand just a very small part of the codes that I am copy / pasting.

 

That’s where I hit my first problem, I don’t even know what program language is used in the scripts for Arma2 Epoch. :( 

 

Can anyone tell me ? so I have an idea on when to learn about.

 

Sorry guess it’s a really noob question, but as the saying goes ‘a girl got to start somewhere’ :P

Then I would start to open google and enter e.g.: "arma2 scripting"

 

You find links like this:

...and you dive deeper and deeper into the topic :)

I did google before writing here  :P

Apparently just did not enter the right search word to get anything useful.
