Whenever you inherit config entries to any config class, you will neither be able to count or select them nor will you be able to get them as array by configClasses.
To get a classes "true" entries, you'll need to loop thorough all inheritsFrom CONFIG, and so on, until all parents are looped.
In my understanding, inheriting from another config doesn't create a "true" copy but rather adds a reference.
It'd be nice to have select / count / configClasses access parents, too.
In description.ext (or any config.cpp), add:
class parentclass {
value = 1;
text = "STRING";
};
class myclass : parentclass {};
Then try following in debug console:
count (missionconfigfile >> "myclass"); returns 0
"true" configClasses (missionconfigfile >> "myclass"); returns []
(missionconfigfile >> "myclass") select 0; // will lead into script error
EDIT:
As it turns out, this only applies to the class with the inheritance. This example works:
class parentclass {
value = 1;
text = "text";
class subclass {
value = 2; text = "another text";
};
};
class myclass : parentclass {};
Now try:
count (missionconfigfile >> "myclass" >> "subclass"); //returns 2
and so on...
