Setting Up Your Development Environment

Installing Git

This tutorial assumes that you have Git installed. You can download Git here.

After installing Git, clone this repository to your directory of choice.

git clone https://github.com/flufflesamy/CBA-Tutorial.git

Installing HEMTT

After you have cloned this repo, you will need to install HEMTT, an open source build tool for Arma 3 mods. This tutorial assumes that you are using Windows. If you are using another operating system, see this page for instructions.

winget install hemtt

Make sure that you have the Arma 3 Tools installed, that you have launched the tools at least once, and that you are subscribed to CBA in the workshop. Then, run this command to launch the game with your mod loaded.

hemtt launch

Please see the HEMTT Book for more information on building your mod.

Setting up Visual Studio Code

I recommend using Visual Studio Code to develop Arma 3 mods. You can download VSCode here.

HEMTT includes a useful VSCode Extension that can be installed and provides error checking and code highlighting.
