descriptive classname of a unit?

[alleycat 28]

I would like to retrieve the descriptive classname of a unit. I know how to do it for weapons:

_weapon 	= 	(configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _weapon);

but I am not sure how to do it for units

Your script snippet doesn't do anything by itself, what do you mean?

Do you mean the display name?

_unit = player;
_displayName = getText (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeof _unit>> "displayName");
hint str _displayName;

Would return something similar to "Autorifleman" etc.

 

Cheers
