getNumber / configFile help :)

[Dead3yez 0]

_a = _this select 0;
_class = typeOf _a;
_maxspeed = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> [b]"_class"[/b] >> "maxSpeed");

As above you should see what I'm trying to do. Obviously "_class" is not working and returning 0 for maxspeed.

Is there a way to do it which works? :)

ATM _a is a plane.

You've got quotes around _class on the third line. Without testing, you should have:

_maxspeed = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _class >> "maxSpeed");

Thanks. Silly me.
