Same trajectory here! Started wanting to make missions in jr high. The community was great about having tutorials for the scripting engine and mission editor. Learned all sorts of programming concepts from doing that, then learned HTML from making pretty-looking briefings for the missions. By the time I started taking some programming classes in HS, I had some decent foundations.

It’s also great that they’ve been consistent about keeping their scripting commands wiki up to date with each new engine update.

The one thing holding Reforger back IMO and why I always go back to Arma 3 is the lack of mission editor/Eden that made it so easy to just try out some mission idea in the OFP/Arma/RV engine.
