getting "hasGunner" value from config file with getNumber

[Rothwell 10]

Hi, I'm trying to see if a vehicle has a gunner position in my code, but I am getting "0" no matter what...

_hasGun = getNumber (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> _ClassName >> "hasGunner");

As I understand, this should be the correct segment of code to get what I want! (I read on a forum that with Arma2, "hasGunner" applies to the turret, and not the vehicle itself, but it didn't go into any more detail... what does this mean?)

I use this code to find the number of cargo spots, and it works perfectly fine...

TCargoSeats = getNumber (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> _ClassName >> "transportSoldier");

To get a better understanding of these values from the config, I suggest you download the following and investigate. Very informative. I use notepad++, and you can find all instances of hasGunner, etc to see how everything works...

All in one Config v1.62 - ArmA2+OA+BAF+PMC+ACR

You can also browse it online here:

Just type in hasGunner in the search.

Also you might want to use this :

First to check if it is defined. Then reach in to the config and grab it out.

Thank you both for your help! I figure I might as well post my solution if anyone else has the same question (I know it doesn't handle turrets within turrets yet... but that's a job for another night):

TGunnerSeats = 0;
if(isClass (_ConfigEntry >> "Turrets")) then
{
_turretClass = (_ConfigEntry >> "Turrets");
for [{_i = 0}, {_i < (count _turretClass)}, {_i = _i+1}] do
{
	if( isNumber ((_turretClass select _i) >> "hasGunner") ) then
	{
		TGunnerSeats = TGunnerSeats + 1;
	};
};
};	

edit: ok, I figured I'd just post the code when it's working 100%...

/////////////find gunner & commander positions////////////////////////
if(isClass (_ConfigEntry >> "Turrets")) then
{

//function start////////////////////////////////////////////////////
TurTrav_func = {
private ["_turretClass","_recurse","_i"];
_turretClass = _this select 0;

for [{_i = 0}, {_i < (count _turretClass)}, {_i = _i+1}] do
{
if( isClass (_turretClass select _i) ) then
{
	//see if it has "gunnerName" in it...
	if( isText ( (_turretClass select _i) >> "gunnerName") ) then
	{
		if( getText ( (_turretClass select _i) >> "gunnerName") == "commander") then
		{
			TCommanderSeats = TCommanderSeats + 1;
		}
		else
		{
			TGunnerSeats = TGunnerSeats + 1;
		};
	};
	//explore this class
	_recurse = [(_turretClass select _i)] call TurTrav_func;
};
};
};
//function end//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

TGunnerSeats = 0;
TCommanderSeats = 0;
_tscript = [(_ConfigEntry >> "Turrets")] call TurTrav_func;

};
