There is a section in the command ref about array types.   The problem with learning about arrays is that they are so simple - it's not the array itself that's the problem, its what goes around it.

An array is just a list.    If you want to list each item individually you have to put them in square brackets like this [ ]

[loon1, loon2, loon3]

Sometimes a command or group of commands returns an array.  For example

getPos loon1

A trigger automatically returns an array of the unit(s) that have fired the trigger.   The array is called thislist.    So in the On Activation field of a trigger you could have

"_x setBehaviour {safe}" forEach units thislist

Hope that gets you started.  ;)
