Examples

Example 1:

for "_i" from (0) to ((count paramsArray) - 1) do {
    missionNamespace setVariable [configName ((missionConfigFile/"Params") select _i), paramsArray select _i];
};

Example 2:

To define custom values in description.ext:

class myMissionConfig
{
    class mySetup
    {
        myNumber = 3;
        myArray[] = { 1, 2, 3 };
        myText = "LOL";
    };
};

To read defined custom values from a script: _myNumber = getNumber (missionConfigFile >> "myMissionConfig" >> "mySetup" >> "myNumber"); _myArray = getArray (missionConfigFile >> "myMissionConfig" >> "mySetup" >> "myArray");


_myText = getText (missionConfigFile >> "myMissionConfig" >> "mySetup" >> "myText");

Example 3:

To get file path with description.ext to play sound via playSound3D: MISSION_ROOT = str missionConfigFile select [0, count str missionConfigFile - 15];

missionConfigFile can be used to parse mission.sqm file data as well if it is included into description.ext:

class MissionSQM
{
	#include "mission.sqm"
};

Then mission.sqm data can be accessed like this: getNumber (missionConfigFile >> "MissionSQM" >> "version"); //12 - version param in mission.sqm (courtesy of Master85)
