Server Side Scripting – ArmA: Armed Assault

The server has a separate Virtual Machine (VM) running administration scripts. This VM is completely independent on the game scripting environment and is designed to automate some administration tasks related to player administration and cheat detection. The basic way how scripts are executed is via event handlers reacting to some typical events, server admin can also execute individual commands using a chat command #exec.

Event handlers are defined in server.cfg file.

The scripting language shares the core (overall structure and syntax, arithmetic operations, control structures) with the scripting used in the game. The are a few commands specific to Server Side Scripting:

příkaz	popis
users	list of users, each user is described as [id,name] array
ban id	add given user id into the ban list
kick id	kick off given user id from the server
level checkFile [id,name]	check file signature test for file name on user id computer, level determines test depth
numberOfFiles id	number of addons files used for given player

Following event handlers are executed:
