====== ArmA 2 HOWTO Use Userconfig ======

[[https://www.pmctactical.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=50|ArmA 2 Forum]], [[:arma2|ArmA 2 Home]], [[arma2:config|ArmA 2 Config]], [[arma2:file_formats|ArmA 2 File Formats]], [[arma2:missions|ArmA 2 Missions]], [[arma2:modeling|ArmA 2 3D Modeling]], [[arma2:scripting|ArmA 2 Scripting]], [[arma2:terrain|ArmA 2 Terrain]], [[arma2:texturing|ArmA 2 Texturing]], [[arma2:tools|ArmA 2 Tools]]

**Description.ext:**
<code cpp>
class X
{
	#include "\userconfig\somefile.hpp"
};
</code>


**Userconfig\somefile.hpp:**
<code cpp>
class Y
{
	key = value;
};
</code>

**Script:**
<code cpp>
ucval = [[getNumber]] ([[missionConfigFile]] >> "X" >> "Y" >> "key");
</code>

Skipping class X means the user could introduce anything into the description.ext
Note that #include WILL fail with a CTD if the somefile.hpp doesn't exist.

missionConfigFile is used when the mission does the include from description.ext

campaignConfigFile is similar but for a campaign

configFile is about the "global config" of unit types, vehicle types, and so on, this is the area added to by addons.
