Description

Description:
Returns an array of config entries that meet the criteria in the condition code. The command iterates through available classes and config properties for given config entry. Current looked at config is stored in _x variable (similar to alternative count command implementation). The condition has to return true in order for the looked at property to be added to the resulting array. This command is a bit slower than configClasses but allows to access inherited entries.
Groups:
Config

Syntax

Syntax:
configProperties [config, condition, inherit]
Parameters:
config: Config - config entry to search
condition: String - (Optional, default "true") expression, which if returns true, adds current property to result
  • The condition code passed to configProperties should only be used for simple filter expressions and nothing more.
  • Since Arma 3 logo black.png 2.02 the following conditions are optimised for performance:
    • "true" (omitted condition)
    • "isClass _x"
    • "isClass _x && (...)"
inherit: Boolean - (Optional, default true) include inherited properties
Return Value:
Array - array of Configs

Examples

Example 1:
_configs = configProperties [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "O_Truck_02_box_F"];
Example 2:
_configs = configProperties [configFile >> "RscText", "true", true];
Example 3:
Get all hitpoints of a truck:
_hitPoints = []; _hitPointsCfgs = configProperties [ configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "O_Truck_02_box_F" >> "HitPoints", "true", true ]; hint str _hitPointsCfgs;
