<sqf>_faces = "true" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgFaces");
In ArmA3 ver 1.14 there’re several comfortable workarounds with [[configFile]] for collecting subclasses. As for traditional workaround like:
// same as:
<code>
_faces = (configfile >> "CfgFaces") call BIS_fnc_getCfgSubClasses;</sqf>
(configfile >> "CfgFaces") call {
<sqf>//Extract all animals:
  private ["_classes"];
animals = "(configName _x isKindOf 'animal')" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgVehicles");
  _classes = [];
// same as:
  for "_i" from 0 to ((count _this) - 1) do 
animals = [];
  {
[(configFile >> "CfgVehicles"),{
    if (isClass (_this select _i)) then
if ((configName _this) isKindOf “animal”) then {
  {
animals set [count animals, _this]
  _classes set [count _classes, configName (_this select _i)];
}
  };
}
  };
  _classes
};
//return: ["Default"……"O_Colonel"] 8 items
</code>
Alternative recommended workaround by using: [[BIS_fnc_getCfgSubClasses]] e.g.
<code>
(configfile >> "CfgFaces") call BIS_fnc_getCfgSubClasses
//Same as traditional workaround
</code>
Another powerful replacement is using [[BIS_fnc_returnChildren]] to collect grandchildren classes with desired level, e.g.
<code>
[(configfile >> "CfgFaces"),1,true,true] call BIS_fnc_returnChildren;
//Return all children faces with a total number at 68
</code>
And as for another advanced workaround for direct processing collected classes, use [[BIS_fnc_uniqueClasses]]. E.g.
<code>
my_array = [];  
[(configfile >> "BombCrater"),
  {
    my_array set [count my_array,(_this select 2) call bis_fnc_getcfgdata]
  }
] call BIS_fnc_uniqueClasses;
] call BIS_fnc_uniqueClasses;
//return [[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]]
</sqf>
</code>
Return nested subclasses, currently still [[BIS_fnc_returnChildren]]
<!-- Note Section END -->
<sqf>
</dl>
// return all nested config classes
 
[configFile >> "CfgFaces",1, true, true] call BIS_fnc_returnChildren;
