Configs

I've made a plugin where you can create a Arena and such.
So what I want it to do is when you create a arena but selecting two areas it saves it to a config.
I've made a config I just don't know how I save the information to a config?

 

Setting:

Code:

getConfig().set("path", object);

Saving:

Code:

try {
    getConfig().save(File);
}
catch(IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

 

kreashenz Saving is better done with:

Code:

saveConfig();

getConfig and object aren't methods?

 

coasterman10 Sorry haha I had a blank moment then, I completely forgot about that.
Cooper PluginDev Are you accessing the config.yml through a different class? Then use plugin.getConfig() or whatever your Main class' variable is. And object can be anything you're trying to set in the config path.

 

kreashenz
My main class is called "main"
So I would do "main.getConfig" but this doesn't work?

 

Cooper PluginDev Have you made a constructor setting the variable?

Code:

private Main main;
 
public <Class>(Main main) {
    this.main = main;
}

Then you can use main.getConfig()

k. Well how do I add it like. I've got all that and then done "saveconfig" etc. But how do I actually specify it. So when I reload the server the region stays.

 

Cooper PluginDev Just save it then when you want to get it go

Code:

main.getConfig().getString("Path to string");
// or
main.getConfig().getInt("path to int");

It's fairly simple, actually.

I've got this, it says "interal error has occured" when I try to make the arena with the command.
Code:

Code:java

 } else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("create")) {
if (p.hasPermission("SuperHeroes.admin")) {
 
Selection sel = getWorldEdit().getSelection(p);
 
if (sel == null) {
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "Arena> " + ChatColor.GRAY + "You must make a selection.");
return true;
}
 
ProtectedCuboidRegion region = new ProtectedCuboidRegion(
"supersmash_" + p.getName(),
new BlockVector(sel.getNativeMinimumPoint()),
new BlockVector(sel.getNativeMaximumPoint())
);
 
 
 
DefaultDomain owners = new DefaultDomain();
owners.addPlayer(getWorldGuard().wrapPlayer(p));
 
 
 
region.setOwners(owners);
 
getWorldGuard().getRegionManager(p.getWorld()).addRegion(region);
 
main.getConfig().getString("Region Location:");
main.saveConfig();
 
 
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "Arena> " + ChatColor.GRAY + "Create Arena with the ID: " + ChatColor.GREEN + region.getId() + ChatColor.GRAY + ".");
}

My config.yml:

Code:java

Region Location:

 

What are you trying to do? I see the "main.getConfig().getString("Region Location:")" but that's not how you do it. Create a setter

Code:

public void setRegionLocation(Location loc) {
    main.getConfig().set("region location.world", loc.getWorld().getName());
    main.getConfig().set("region location.x", loc.getBlockX());
// do ^ for y and z
    main.saveConfig();
}

And getting

Code:

public Location getRegionLocation() {
    return new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(main.getConfig().getString("region location.world")), main.getConfig().getInt("region location.x"), //x and y);
}

Ok what I'm trying to do is thus.
When a player creates a arena (region) by typing /arena create it creates the region. The problem is, when you reload/restart the server the region isn't there anymore. So I figured I need to save my data in a config file. So when a player creates a region it stores it in a file.

 

Cooper PluginDev Alright.. What you'd need to do:
Get the two locations of it (max and min)
Set each in the config like I showed ^^ (with different paths of course, maybe region.<name>.min and region.<name>.max)
Save the config
When the server loads, run a method that loads up all the regions

Do you want me to try and give you code for that?
