It is exactly like writing a screenplay. If the story isn't good, then all the technical expertise in the world won't save it.
Whether it is an automated mission from an NPC or an event with animation, the story is the first thing. ARK does things like set up the NPC, put down special effects, keep track of where the player is in a mission, create extra mobs for an event and determine their behavior, etc.
ARK is a module based scripting language. It can include some BBcode for doing calculations. Without a story and a screenplay, it is useless.
