Descriptionshort and Description Within Config : Usage

[marker 1]

Hey guys

Using the line below to pull out the description / shirt from the config file. I can get the short description pulled, but the long description doesn't appear at all..

configFile >>  "CfgWeapons" >> _weaponsplayer >> "descriptionshort"
configFile >>  "CfgWeapons" >> _weaponsplayer >> "description"

Now if i pull it from the MX 6.5 I assumed I should get the information from the config file that is posted within six browsers, is this correct?

http://browser.six-projects.net/cfg_weapons/1873377

Right now nothing is showing for description, short just states that it is an assault rifle.

Cheers

Try this:

_t1 = getText (configFile >>  "CfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon player >> "description");
_t2 = getText (configFile >>  "CfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon player >> "descriptionshort");

player sideChat format ["%1", _t1];
player groupChat format ["%1", _t1];

Assuming you're holding an MX

Sorry Das

I din't explain myself properly in the first post.. I can get everything else showing up apart from the "description" using

_weaponsplayer = weapons player;

_weaponsplayer =  _weaponsplayer select 0;

To give me the weapon the player has in their hand..

Full code below..

_weaponsplayer = "";
_picture = "";
_name = "";
_mags = "";
_weaponsplayer = weapons player;

_weaponsplayer =  _weaponsplayer select 0;
_weaponsplayer1 = getText (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _weaponsplayer >> "DisplayName");
_picture = getText (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _weaponsplayer >> "picture");
_info = getText (configFile >>  "CfgWeapons" >> _weaponsplayer >> "descriptionshort");
_mags =  getArray (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _weaponsplayer >> "magazines");
_mags = _mags select 0;
_magname = getText (configFile >>  "cfgMagazines" >> _mags >> "Displayname");
_infomag = getText (configFile >>  "cfgMagazines" >> _mags >> "descriptionshort");
_magspic = getText (configFile >>  "cfgMagazines" >> _mags >> "picture");

_name = format ["<t size='1.75' color='#6B824A'>Main Weapon info</t><br/><t size='1' color='#f0e68c'>%1</t><br/><img size='3' image='%2'/>   <img size='2' image='%5'/><br/><t size='1' color='#f0e68c'>%3</t><br/><t size='1.75' color='#6B824A'>Magazine Info</t><br/><t size='1' color='#f0e68c'>%4</t><br/>", _weaponsplayer1, _picture, _info, _infomag,  _magspic, _magname];
