Alright, so I'm pouring over Mr Murrays english arma editing guide.
I found the section on being able to inflict damage on a unit through scripting, but it doesnt say how to do it to the nearest person.

What I want to do is have a knife kill action available in the action menu that you can only do when within a couple meters of someone, and it instantly, and most importantly, silently kills an enemy. This way, you can stealth kill without using a firearm which seems to tip off his buddies half the time.

Will this work in MP, let alone at all?

I am a newb to scripting but have dabbled in scirpting and am starting to learn.
Any help is much apreciated.

Killing automatically tipping off unaware buddies is a known bug which is apparently fixed already, but not in the current release.

If it comes down to it ill just not have the bad guys in the same group.
And i would like to have this script none the less, because it could have some interesting PvP results as well.

But above all esle i want a way to knife kill AI in MP coop missions, even if the other AI know about it

You can set up an action for the particular person you want to kill.  If doing this in MP, you will have to select every person.
