## Community notes

**longbow** — 2016-10-01

One still can use [allVariables](../commands/allVariables.md) in Multiplayer against [profileNamespace](../commands/profileNamespace.md) and [uiNamespace](../commands/uiNamespace.md) using config parser. In [Description.ext](../topics/Description.ext.md)

```sqf
_EXEC(someVar = allVariables profileNamespace)
```

in code

```sqf
_allProfileVars = parsingNamespace getVariable "someVar"
```

but this list will be valid only at the moment of config parsing.
