From what I see, you will need to dedicate a lot of time.

• To test the waters, I suggest you have a read this http://tactical.nekromantix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=arma2:scripting:basics_of_sqf
• If still interested this guy has one of the best unofficial resources for Arma series IMO and his articles are bitesized so you won't get bored (much): http://killzonekid.com/
• This is for absolute beginners (to Arma scripting and programming in general) http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154047-Arma-3-Scripting-Tutorial-For-Noobs&p=2383886&viewfull=1#post2383886
• Should you decide to stay in scripting, you will need to live by the bible (i.e.: search box here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Topics )

ALSO

Some people just don't like to read, they learn better with videos. If you are one of them here is a YouTuber dedicated to producing Arma scripting videos

He is a bit clueless and often gets (edit: typo)confusing confused about what HE was doing mid video however still useful for newcomers - I was watching  his stuff the first two weeks, helped a lot.

 

One final thing, download others scripts, and take a look at how they do things. It will not only save you a lot of time but will also take to waters normally you wouldn't be able to reach yourself anytime soon.

 

Enjoy!
