Declaring dynamic variables?

[HlynkaCG]

I have a fair bit of experience modding other games (Skyrim, DCS, Far Cry, etc...) and I'm now starting to dabble in BattleTech. I have a question regarding the game's JSON files. Is it possible to declare a dynamic string? If so, how? In pseudo code what I want to do would look something like this...

my_dynamic_string {

if (condition A met) return "String A"
else if (condition B met) return "String B"
else return "String C"
}
​

and then elsewhere in the JSON have...

string_variable = my_dynamic_string
​

...would set string_variable to option A, B, or C as appropriate. If someone here could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

No, the JSON format has static data structures only.

Presumably you could create a similar effect by writing code to replace some of the DLL routines, though. Much more work, and I don't know how best to get started with that sort of thing since I haven't done it myself yet.
