set Variable from mission to CfgUnitInsignia ?

[drunken officer 18]

Hello.

I've question. In my addon, i've a class inside the CfgUnitInsignia

class CfgUnitInsignia
{
class DOF_RANK_SYSTEM
{
	displayName = ""; // Name displayed in Arsenal
	author = "Drunken Officer"; // Author displayed in Arsenal
	texture = "\bw_zusatz\texturen\Dienstgrade\gef_ca.paa"; // Image path
	textureVehicle = ""; // Does nothing currently, reserved for future use
};
};
[/Code]

With a script, i check the rank of player and set a this
[code]
.....
case 6 : {DOF_EIGENES_RANKICON_Display_arm = "\bw_zusatz\texturen\Dienstgrade\Fw_ca.paa"};
case 7 : {DOF_EIGENES_RANKICON_Display_arm = "\bw_zusatz\texturen\Dienstgrade\OFw_ca.paa"};
case 8 : {DOF_EIGENES_RANKICON_Display_arm = "\bw_zusatz\texturen\Dienstgrade\HFW_ca.paa"};
.....

Now i tried to set

configFile>>"CfgUnitInsignia">>"DOF_RANK_SYSTEM">>"texture">>DOF_EIGENES_RANKICON_Display_arm;

But it doesnt works. The texture is a string and the DOF_EIGENES_RANKICON_Display_arm is a string too. It's a doubelstring and it'S not possible.

Compiling of DOF_EIGENES_RANKICON_Display_arm returns a code.

Is there a way, to set texture?

At the moment, i've a own class inside the CfgUnitInsignia for each rank. It's monster hpp :mad:

//[ player, DOF_EIGENES_RANKICON_Display_arm ] call fnc_setInsignia;

fnc_setInsignia = {

_unit = _this select 0;
_texture = _this select 1;

_uniform = getText ( configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> uniform _unit >> "ItemInfo" >> "uniformClass" );
{
	if (_x == "insignia") exitWith {
		_unit setVariable [ "bis_fnc_setUnitInsignia_class", "DOF_RANK_SYSTEM", true ];
		_unit setObjectTextureGlobal [ _forEachIndex, _texture ];
	};
}forEach getArray ( configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _uniform >> "hiddenSelections" );

};

modified from the BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia. Is this what your trying to do?

Its not possible to inject the texture path back into the config but you can use setObjectTextureGlobal to set the units arm patch.
