Title: unit type display name
Post by: alimag on 16 Oct 2009, 22:10:49

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can tell me how to find the display name of a unit type. You know, the string that is displayed when your cursor is on an unit on the screen (Rifleman, etc.)

I suspect it as something to do with config entry but after trying a lot of combinations nothing worked.

For example, I've tried (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> (typeOf player)) but it just returns the typeOf player, which in this case is "FR_TL".

(configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> (typeOf player) >> "displayName") just return the string "dispalyName".

What I want is the dispaly name of the type.

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Try

Code: [Select]

getText (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> (typeOf player) >> "displayName")
