Description

Description:

Returns an array of config entries which meet criteria in condition code. Command iterates through all available config sub classes of the given config class. Current looked at config is stored in _x variable (similar to alternative count command implementation). Condition has to return true in order for the looked at config to be added to the resulting array.

⚠

The condition code passed to configClasses should only be used for simple filter expressions and nothing more

(ArmA3 1.24) It is recommended to use configClasses instead of BIS_fnc_getCfgSubClasses and BIS_fnc_uniqueClasses on subclasses collection or conditional selection. _faces = "true" configClasses (configFile >> "Cfgfaces"); //same as: _faces = (configfile >> "CfgFaces") call BIS_fnc_getCfgSubClasses; //Extract all animals: animals = "((configName _x) isKindOf 'animal')" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgVehicles"); /*same as: aniamls = []; [(configFile >> "CfgVehicles"),{ if ((configName _this) isKindOf “animal”) then { animals set [ count animals, _this] } } ] call BIS_fnc_uniqueClasses;*/ Return nested subclasses, currently still BIS_fnc_returnChildren //Return all nested config classes.
[(configFile >> "CfgFaces"),1, true, true ] call BIS_fnc_returnChildren;

A fantastic way to filter stuff. eg; Create an array of west vehicles and spawn then in front of the player in rows of 5 private ["_cfgArray","_xPos","_yPos","_veh"]; _cfgArray = "( (getNumber (_x >> 'scope') >= 2) && {getNumber (_x >> 'side') == 1 && {getText (_x >> 'vehicleClass') in ['Armored', 'Car', 'Air'] } } )" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgVehicles"); _xPos = 0; _yPos = 0; { _yPos = _yPos + 20; _veh = createVehicle [ ( configName _x ), player modelToWorld [_xPos, _yPos, 0], [], 0, "None"]; if (_yPos >= 100) then { _yPos = 0; _xPos = _xPos + 20; }; } forEach _cfgArray;

This command does not play well with inherited classes. See this forum post for more details https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/190987-configclasses-or-bis-fnc-getcfgsubclasses-doesnt-return-all-classes/?p=3028789
