Change Details

Arma 3 supports "[[ https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Simple_Expression | simple expressions ]]" which are used in configs quite a lot. Unfortunately, the `getNumber` command cannot evaluate them. So I would like to request a command that does this. ``` variables evaluateSimpleExpression STRING or CONFIG ``` which evaluates a simple expression either from the string form or from the text config entry. Example: ``` [["x", 1], ["y", 2]] evaluateSimpleExpression "pow(x + 1, y)" ``` if a variable is undefined, no error should be produced and it should be set to `0`: ``` [] evaluateSimpleExpression "x + y" // should return 0 without any errors ```
