Solved Help with keeping track of player specific things

EXAMPLE: What would I need to do to keep track of a players amount of something (let's say deliveries) and how would I add to a players amount, get their current amount, set their current amount, and take from them. Thanks

 

@darthteddy1
You want temporary storage or?
If so, use a HashMap, they allow for a key and a value.

If not, use a configuration file (Comes with Bukkit). You can use getConfig(); to have a look at the different things you can do with it.

 

@CraftCreeper6 well how would I save a players specific amount to a config?

 

@darthteddy1
getConfig()#set(path, value);

Path could be the players UUID (Or name if you are still at that stage) plus the factor you want to keep track of (Paths are seperated by "." e.g: "myuuid.mythingy")
Value could be the *well value* of the factor.

Ok, everything works, BUT the givepackages command
EDIT:
How would I update the amount of packages a person has when i do a command. What I just tried:

Code:

getConfig().set(playerToGive.getName() +".balance", args[2]);

 

Use the report button for that

 

@darthteddy1

This line of code should do the job. Did you made sure the config is saved after changing it?

 

You shouldn't save the config every time you change it, you only need to save it when the plugin is disabled.

 

@Lordloss Thanks, now 1 last thing, how to I add to the current amount a player has? (EX: Person has 1, how do I add 2 to their current amount?)

Also: This is supposed to save the item in my hand (I have a default item for this), and the location I'm at, but it never saves the item OR the place to the config! (Brackets in code might be off a little, its in the middle of my plugin file):

Code:

        }else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("setShopOpener")) {
            if(sender.hasPermission("Tokens.ADMIN")) {
            if(args[1].equals("1")) {
            Player p = (Player) sender;
            p.getWorld().getBlockAt(p.getLocation()).setType((Material) getConfig().get("Token_Shop.block"));
            getConfig().set("packageOpen1.location", p.getLocation());
           
       
                if(args[1].equals("2")) {
                   
                    p.getWorld().getBlockAt(p.getLocation()).setType((Material) getConfig().get("Token_Shop.block"));
                    getConfig().set("packageOpen2.location", p.getLocation());
                   
                   
                   return true;
            } else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("block")) {
                if(sender.hasPermission("Tokens.SET")) {
           
               
                getConfig().set("Token_Shop.block", p.getItemInHand());
                p.sendMessage("Item Recorded!");
               
               
            }
                }}
    }}

Bump

 

How can args[1] be "1" and "2"?

 

@Zombie_Striker
Clearly you have no understand of Schrödinger's Integer


@darthteddy1
Seriously though. How would that ever work
Also your spacing is awkward and misleading.. you should consider fixing it

 

@Scimiguy and @Zombie_Striker I have fixed these things since, thanks anyway!
