configHierarchy

Description

Returns hierarchy of the given config class. Just like with inheritsFrom, only complete config classes are supported (before Arma 3 v2.14). Since Arma 3 v2.22, an alt syntax is added, which allows to return parents identical to BIS_fnc_returnParents (see Example 2)

Syntax

Syntax 1

configHierarchy config

Parameters:

• config: Config - target config

Returns: Array of Configs - ordered from parent to child

Syntax 2

since arma3 2.22

configHierarchy [config, classesOnly, includeBases, reversedOrder, configNames]

Parameters:

• config: Config - target config
• classesOnly: Boolean - when true, only classes are included in output and not properties
• includeBases: Boolean - when true, returned parents will include base classes (see description)
• reversedOrder: Boolean - when true, the return order is from child to parent
• configNames: Boolean - (Optional) when true, the return is Array of Strings, when false - Array of Configs. Default: false

Returns: Array of Configs or Strings - Strings represent config names

Examples

Example 1

_hierarchy = configHierarchy (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Car");
// Returns [bin\config.bin, bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles, bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Car]

Example 2

_bis_fnc_returnParents = configHierarchy [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Land_FirePlace_F", true, true, true, true];
// Returns ["Land_FirePlace_F","House_F","House","HouseBase","NonStrategic","Building","Static","All"]
