hmm ... just noticed your spoiler PC and would like to teach what little I know to you..
ok..
here is what I worked from ;
console > admin set package.class property value
this translates into either; consolecommand (admin set) , <etc>
or..
Level.Game.SetPropertyText(Property,Value);
however , I don't think that ^^ taken from MVLA works with arrays.. tbh IDK
now given the above info .. I wanted to create a mod which can allow for this too work.
the coding is shocking and needs fixing but meh it works.
here it is here..

class Set1 extends mutator config(CustomizeIni);
^ this here says This Class 'Set1.uc' extends the Mutator class and uses its own .ini file called CustomizeIni.ini
var() config string cPackage[128];
var() config string cSetting[128];
var() config bool bDebug;
var() config bool bVerbose;
^ these variables (all variables need to be pre-defined) are dictated by the .ini file note that bDebug is not in the customizeIni.ini? well you can add it and it spits out all kinds of shit.
the [128] means that these have a limit of 128 bits of information or Stings in this instance.
from cPackage[0] to cPackage[128]
var int maxPackages;
var int maxSettings;
var int numPackages;
// package , class , property , (array) , value
var string package;
var string cClass; // class is invalid therefore cClass
var string property;
var string pArray; // incase of array
var string value;
var bool bInt;
var string specialBorder
var int skipped;
var int executed;
var string vSettings;
^ these variables are used globally through out the script meaning that the values can be used in any/all functions etc.
function PreBeginPlay(){
^ this function is unreal speciffic and basically means , do this before the game starts or PRE BEGIN PLAY.
local string specialString;
local int specialLen;
local string border;
local int i;
^ these variables are local which means that they only function within this FUNCTION also note the types , BOOL (TRUE.FALSE) , INT (INTEGER) , STRING (OBVIOUS)
vSettings="[CustomizeIni.Set1]";
^ here I set a Global Variables value , this is a string if you notice above , and is only used to indicate in the log which of the 32 classes are in use.
if (!bInt){
bInt = true;
^ bint means b(oolean) initialized .. or..
if NOT(!) initialized then continue, else skip this this crap.
maxPackages=128;
maxSettings=128;
border="-";
specialBorder="-";
^ more below the countpackages subroutine.
countPackages(); // numPackages now defined.
^ gosub countPackages and return here;
specialString =("+ CustomizeIni v1.2 Initializing > NumPackages="@numPackages@"+");
specialLen = len(specialString);
^ defining more global & local variables setup earlier above;
for(i=1;i<specialLen;i++){
specialBorder = specialBorder$border;
}
^ here we see our first for/next loop ;
ok.. so, i=1 IF i less-than specailLen THEN i=i+1
specialLen = length of specialString;
specialString = "meh" therefore specialLen = 3 
so if loops 3 times or the number of characters in specialString..
the $ and @ symbols allow you to manipulate text in uscript.. $ = join (no space) & @ = join (with a space)
so where you see these characters in the script you can tell if they are joined (no space) or joined wit a space.
log(specialBorder);
log(specialString);
log("+ Created by wises aka back4more ut99.org 8/03/2015");
log(specialBorder);
^ this basically exports the values of those variables to the .log files.
processSettings();
^ this ... calls the function processSettings and then returns to the next line;
if(bVerbose&&!bDebug||bDebug&&!bVerbose||!bDebug&&!bVerbose&&executed>0){
^ tricky semifunctional mickeymouse ninjashit AND OR statement.. which kinda works.
which means ; IF bVerbose = TRUE AND bDebug = FALSE OR bDebug = TRUE and bVerbose = False OR bDebug = FALSE AND bverbose = FALSE AND executed GRATER-THAN ZERO...
then do the next line (whew)
log(specialBorder);}
^ just displays a line for "----------------------------------------" based on the above condition.. lol
log("+"@vSettings@"("$executed@"Executed,"@skipped@"Skipped)");
log(specialBorder);
}
}
^ log all that crap and continue..
function debug (string debugString){
if (bDebug){
log(">"@debugString);
}
}
^ instead of using log("whatever") ninja's like to have the statements appear in the log's IF bDebug variable = true
note back up the top that bDebug is a variable set in the .ini file?
that function does basically that.. displays the info IF bDebug = TRUE.. else shows nothing..
the bits in brackets is important (string debugString) , basically it is a way of defining a variable on the fly.. in this case the variable is of type STRING and is called debugString
if I were to say debug("hello") then guess what debugString = ?
hello?
function logA (string logAString){
if (bDebug){
log(logAString);
}
}
function logB (string logBString){
if (bDebug){
log("@"@logBString);
}
}
function logC(string logCString){
if(bDebug){
log("^"@logCString);
}
}
^ you get the picture and well they are probably not needed.. was messing with aesthetics tbh.. waste of time.
ok few pointers;
bool = True or False
int = 456 (no decimal)
float = 1.456 (decimal)
string = "some sentence"
&& = AND
|| = OR
! = NOT
*one main Class , made up of variables (pre defined at top)..
Variables (global) defined in the header section of class..
main function called PreBeginPaly{}
and each line executed from there.. on wards..
other functions are called in or rather jumped to , executed and returned to next line in main function.
thats about all i know for now.. am trying to to learn slowly..
I think thats enough for today.. let me know if you wish for me to continue this tutorial..
else I await the guru's to come and further elaborate on these things.
