DayZ Enforce Script Skill

Always consult community.bistudio.com DayZ Modding and the Enforce Script Language Reference for authoritative API docs.

Overview

Enforce Script is a statically-typed, C-like scripting language embedded in the Bohemia Interactive Enfusion engine. It drives all gameplay logic in DayZ: items, players, AI, missions, GUI, economy, and RPC networking. Mods are distributed as .pbo archives compiled from .c script files layered on top of vanilla scripts.

When to Use This Skill

• Sync variables from server to client via NetSync
• Create .layout XML files for in-game GUI panels and HUDs
