How to make/Edit scripts/Put them into menus
So lately there's been a lot of people asking how to make scripts, Edit them, And put them into menus, So I decided I'd make a thread to help people. 
Here's a list of scripting commands from Bohemia Interactive,
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/C...Commands_ArmA2
So, What do you do with this?
Well, You can either make your own scripts which you might have to research how to do, Or you can edit your own. Here's how to edit.
Take this script, or any other you may have, and find below the editable part which will show to people, Shown below in red text.
Once you have found the red part, You can change it to whatever you want. Multiple lines, etc/Different colored text, By editing the HTML color code which is shown in the #'s or Hashtags. You can find a link to all the color codes for HTML here.
HTML color codes
And of course there are a lot more websites out there where you can find better more specific colors to edit the text inside menus/scripts etc.
Next we will move onto menus and how to edit them.
Below will be an example of one. What you want to do with this, basically is find, which part of the menu you want to edit.
An example will be shown in red. Now theres 2 things you can do with this, Copy paste another line into the script, and change what the name of your custom script is, or, you can create another sub line, for the menu and make it more custom to what you want.
Of course you have to take into account which menu you're editing and how they work.
For this one, The red part shown below is what you can basically copy/paste/edit to what you want it to say.
Take into account when editing a menu, or script, sometimes it is NECESSARY to make a backup of the script file.
Here's a guide on how to create a script, to have inside whatever you desire.
Step 1: Open Notepad
Step 2: Type in the code/copy it in
Step 3: Click on the file button at the top left.
Step 4: Click save
Step 5: A prompt box will come up asking, what you want to save it as.
Step 6: If you're saving it as an .sqf file which I imagine is what you want, Click the save as type box, Choose all files
Step 7: Enter the name of what you want the script to be, Example Heal.sqf - Remember don't forget the .sqf part, It's what makes the file a script and not just another .txt document
Step 8: Save, and choose where you want to put it, Example - Your desktop or a folder.
You're now done and can import that script into a menu.
Here's how to import that script into a menu.
Step 1: Take the script file, Move it into your Arma2OA directory, into whichever folder contains your scripts, usually you'll know this off the top of your head.
Step 2: Open up the script shown above that is your menu, It can be different for whatever menu you're using but most of the time in the name it contains something along the lines of ----Menu.sqf
Step 3: Now, Find the lines where it shows scripts, and copy/paste one of them.
Step 4: You can now edit the line to say the name of your script, Where the menu will execute it from, and name it whatever you want which is what it will show up as in the menu.
Step 5: Save the new file to whatever you edited it as, but again, I recommend keeping backups just in-case you mess up.
Step 6: Profit and enjoy editing your menu as custom as you want it
Hope this guide helps some people and stops some of the threads on this forum asking for scripting help/how to's on how you create scripts.
The questions have been answered a lot and I felt someone needed to make a help thread about how to's.
Hopefully I didn't mess up on anything here and if anyone has anything to add it would be appreciated..!
And of course, No thread can be complete without

You should rename this to "How to edit scripts/put them into menus" I don't see any "making" anything here.
Looking good there. Hopefully this can get a sticky so more people can see.

I enjoy this post. Most of the posts are releases and/or people complaining about people leeching. If more people get familiar with how to even edit scripts. We are separating those who will put 0 effort into scripting versus those who would like to be a little less of a nuisance. I like the idea. Wish there were more of these posts around.

Something similar to this has already been stickied in the disscusion section.
I never go there so I wouldn't know, Thanks for letting me know.
Feel free to write any helpful additions in the replies, Shameless Bump
Thank you so much.
