Description needed
Groups:: Config Mission Information

Syntax:: getMissionConfigValue [attribute, defaultValue]
Parameters:: attribute: String - attribute name
: defaultValue: Any - value used when the attribute is undefined
Return Value:: Number, String or Array, depending on the attribute value type. Default value when the attribute is undefined.

Example 1:: _respawnDelay = getMissionConfigValue ["respawnDelay",0] Returns respawn delay value. Replaces the previous approach which would scan only the external Description.ext file, but ignore the value set in the Eden Editor: _respawnDelay = getNumber (missionConfigFile >> "respawnDelay"); // Old approach
