Description

Description:

Returns value of a scenario attribute from the 1st tier. The attribute can be defined on multiple places, the commands checks them in the following order:

1. External Description.ext file
2. Eden Editor scenario attribute

So if attribute exists in both places, attribute from description.ext is used. Previously, scenario attributes were extracted from Description.ext using missionConfigFile. That still works, but it ignores attributes set directly in the editor and it should not be used anymore.

Examples

Example 1:

_header = getMissionConfig "Header" Returns scenario header config. Replaces the previous approach which would scan only the external Description.ext file, but ignore the value set in the Eden Editor: _header = missionConfigFile >> "Header"; // Old approach
