How to set cost and cooldown for radio support?

M829A3

I write #include "artillery.hpp" in description.ext
In artillery.hpp:
cost_variable = "50";
class rambler
{
displayname = $STR_VN_ARTILLERY_AIRCRAFT_CLUSTER_RAMBLER_NAME;
icon = "vn\ui_f_vietnam\data\decals\vn_callsign_src_433tfs_ca.paa";
description = $STR_VN_ARTILLERY_AIRCRAFT_HE_VESPA_DESCRIPTION;
magazines[] = {"vn_bomb_500_mk82_he_mag_x1","vn_bomb_500_mk82_he_mag_x1"};
vehicleclass = "vn_b_air_f4c_cas";
cooldown = (60*5);
cost = 50;
};

When I open the radio support menu,it says cost:scalar NaN(not a number?).What should I do to fix this problems?

The "cost_variable" is the variable which is used as the players 'money'

So if you give the players money through 'player_money = 5'
then the "cost_variable" would be "player_money"

e.g.
cost_variable = "player_money";

I'm pretty new to mission making, how do I set a variable? where would I do something like that? If anyone has a video that could be very helpful to me.

Essentially I want to be able to change that variable 2-3 times throughout my mission. Essentially "refilling" the support money the players have at certain gameplay milestones.

Variables are a main part of scripting in general, you'll want to have a search on YouTube to find some videos about it.
