If ''class Params'' is defined in [[description.ext]], a simple "Parameters" GUI becomes available in Multiplayer which allows the host (or admin on dedicated server) to define custom mission parameters before mission start. These params will become available to all mission scripts via [[paramsArray]] variable, which contains [[Array]] of values selected via "Parameters" GUI.

[[paramsArray]] is available on all computers and is [[Join In Progress|JIP]] compatible. It gets set only once on mission start. Even though admin can select different options after mission start, the value of [[paramsArray]] will remain the same as it was on mission start. Anyone can see "Parameters" GUI if it is available, but only admin or host can edit it. Players will only see default options selected when exploring "Parameters" GUI, even if host/admin changed them.
