ffur2007slx2_5: (Arma 3 1.14) It's recommended to use BIS_fnc_getCfgData or BIS_fnc_returnConfigEntry to get variable cfg data rather than conditioning via isNumber, isText, isArray, getNumber, getText and getArray combination.
Traditional workaround: _cfg = configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _SomeAddonClassName >> "DestructionEffects" >> "Smoke1" >> "type" switch ( true ) do { case (isNumber _cfg): {getNumber _cfg}; case (isText _cfg): {getText _cfg}; case (isArray _cfg): {getArray _cfg;}; default { nil }; }; Recommended workaround: (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _SomeAddonClassName >> "DestructionEffects" >> "Smoke1" >> "type") call BIS_fnc_getCfgData; To return default value once entry was not found, we can use BIS_fnc_returnConfigEntry instead of BIS_fnc_getCfgData. [(configFile >> "CannonFire" >> "LightExp"),"lifeTime",0] call BIS_fnc_returnConfigEntry; // 0.5

demellion: There is special behaviour if you try to read a description.ext config entry Array that contains a Boolean.
Getting array in MP will result in Number, while SP will return String. // SP with false in array getArray (missionConfigFile >> "someClass" >> "someArray") // -> "false" // MP with false in array getArray (missionConfigFile >> "someClass" >> "someArray") // -> 0
