Introduction

GC Framework (based on Olsen's Framework) is an efficient and modular mission making framework designed to help create large scale, high quality ArmA 3 scenarios. It can be used in different types of communities and servers due to it's modular nature and high flexibility.

Code Editor

We highly recommend using a code editor like Notepad++ or Visual Studio. It will help you spot errors in your code by using syntax highlighting. You can download a plugin for Notepad++ that is specifically made for ArmA 3 code here.
As an alternative you can also use Atom, it also has a plugin for SQF syntax highlighting with snippets and a linter.

Important Note

The ArmA 3 coding community is riddled with bad code based on guess work and trial and error. So if you need a feature for your mission that is not in the framework, post it on the issue tracker and let us make a framework compatible module, so that others can benefit from the feature.
This also includes if you wish to request documentation about something related to the framework.
