Adding scripts is a little tricky because you need to disassemble the pbo into its component scripts, then shoehorn in your script file, edit the others to accommodate it and bung it all back together.

However, there is an easier way if you just want some god mode and magically appearing items.

Loki's Lost Key (I have no idea why it's called that) is an addon that allows you to spawn in all manner of stuff and allows for god mode and quite a few other bizarre things as well. For instance, you can teleport, call in an extraction heli to bail you out, spawn ten billion vehicles on top of each other until your graphics card catches fire, go sky-diving and even create camps.

Go here to get the files. It's just a couple of pbos. You can either give them their own folder and add the appropriate -mod=@whatever to your shortcut or shove them in the Addons folder in the Operation Arrowhead program folder (which will require you to move them out of there before playing online, lest the servers object to your mighty powers of fuckingaroundishness)

It does require the CBA addon in order to work. Download this, extract the three folders within, copy those folders to the OA program folder and add -mod=@CBA;@CBA_A2;@CBA_OA to your shortcut.

Once you're up and running Lost Key is available from the main mousewheel menu. Selecting it brings up a screen of stuff. Select "Work" to get to most of the options you'd like. God mode, etc is under Magick off there.

I particularly like the extraction thing as it has problems with some terrain and the helis tend to smash into the hillside with a handy "Extraction team lost" message. AI bandits will fire on them as well, which is quite thrilling when you're on board. For extra yucks, you can try hijacking the extraction chopper yourself.

There also a certain amount of fun to be had by getting yourself some AI friends (visit a church in Electro or Cherno and they magically appear) and then summoning a helicopter and ordering them aboard. There's something rather jolly about cruising around at ten feet with a chopper full of mates. It is best to jump in first before telling them to board (F1, F2, mousewheel "Get in") as earlier, I told them to board before me and the buggers took off without me.
