Pulling Weapon types from COnFig

[obrien979 4]

Is there a way to pull the display names (i.e. "M200 Intervention) for the different types of rifles (sniper, assault, HMG,LMG, etc...) from the configFile using a script or any other method?

 

TIA

This function will return the 'displayName' from the config.

 

tky_fnc_getscreenname =
{

	// with thanks to hoverguy and tryteyker
	private ["_suppliedtype","_type", "_cfg_type","_data", "_ret"];
	params ["_suppliedtype"];
	if ((typeName _suppliedtype) == "OBJECT") then
		{
		_type = (typeof _suppliedtype);
		}
		else
		{
		_type = _suppliedtype;
		};
	//assume classname is provided. if object is provided, get its classname
    switch (true) do
    {
        case(isClass(configFile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _type)): {_cfg_type = "CfgMagazines"};
        case(isClass(configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _type)): {_cfg_type = "CfgWeapons"};
        case(isClass(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _type)): {_cfg_type = "CfgVehicles"};
        case(isClass(configFile >> "CfgGlasses" >> _type)): {_cfg_type = "CfgGlasses"};
    };
	_ret = getText (configFile >> _cfg_type >> _type >> "displayName");
	_ret
};
