- use getNumber to get boolean values from a config file. 1 equals true, 0 equals false and if no value is found (when a valid variable is undefined) 0.67 is returned.

In ArmA3 ver 1.14, it is recommended to use BIS_fnc_GetCfgData to get variable cfg data rather than conditioning via isNumber, isText, isArray, getNumber, getText and getArray combination. E.g.
Traditional workaround:_cfg = configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _SomeAddonClassName >> "DestructionEffects" >> "Smoke1" >> "type" switch (true) do { case (isNumber _cfg): {getNumber _cfg}; case (isText _cfg): {getText _cfg}; case (isArray _cfg): {getArray _cfg;}; default {nil}; };Recommended workaround:(configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _SomeAddonClassName >> "DestructionEffects" >> "Smoke1" >> "type") call bis_fnc_getcfgdata;To compose collected Number into Array, use BIS_fnc_getCfgDataArray instead. E.g.(configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _SomeAddonClassName >> "DestructionEffects" >> "Smoke1" >> "type") call BIS_fnc_getCfgDataArray;To retype collected Number into Boolean, use BIS_fnc_getCfgDataBool. Anything bigger than 0 is true, otherwise false.(configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _SomeAddonClassName >> "DestructionEffects" >> "Smoke1" >> "type") call BIS_fnc_getCfgDataBool;
