Getting a int from a config file

I'm trying to get a int that i have saved into my config file, It was saving the int but when i added the line to check if the config file had any saved ints it all stopped working. I'm getting no errors in console or anything it just that that class file wont work anymore here is my code.

Code:java

    int Diamonds = 0;
 
    @EventHandler
    public void DiamondStorage (InventoryClickEvent event) {
        Player player = (Player) event.getWhoClicked();
 
        if(event.getCurrentItem().getType() != Material.IRON_BLOCK && event.getCursor().getType() != Material.DIAMOND) {
            return;
        }
 
        if(event.getCurrentItem().getType() == Material.IRON_BLOCK && event.getCursor().getType() == Material.DIAMOND) {
 
            if (plugin.getConfig().getInt("Diamonds: ") == Diamonds) {
 
                Diamonds = event.getCursor().getAmount()+Diamonds;
                player.getWorld().playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.NOTE_PLING, 1.0F, 1.0F);
                event.setCancelled(true);
 
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Diamonds: " + Diamonds + "/1000");
 
                plugin.getConfig().set("Diamonds: ", player.getName() + "'s Dimaonds: " + Diamonds);
                plugin.saveConfig();
 
            }
        }
    }
}
 

 

replace all occurences of "Diamonds: " with "Diamonds"

 

Can you show us your config file?

If it looks like this:

Code:

Diamonds: 4

You get the value by using

Code:

plugin.getConfig().getInt("Diamonds")

It looks like this

Code:java

'Diamonds: : MCCoding's Emeralds: 1'

but im wanting to change it as i am saving players ender chest contents to a config as well which looks like this

Code:java

MCCoding:
content: 140002

am i able to add it under their name so then the config would look like this

Code:java

MCCoding:
content: 140002
Diamonds : 1

 

I'm confused now.
Is your config looking like this

Code:

    'Diamonds: ': 'PHILLIPS_71''s Emeralds: 1'

or this?

Code:

    MCCoding:
    content: 140002
    Diamonds : 1

The latter seems good for a config.
The first one is a bit cluttered. You should use simple key names. Not things like "BlaBla's Diamonds".
You can format this of course like you want when sending the player a message with this info.

Just provide the path to the key when getting or setting it.
So to set the diamonds value under the players name:

Code:

plugin.getConfig().set(playerName + ".Diamonds", value)

And to get it, do:

Code:

plugin.getConfig().getInt(playerName + ".Diamonds")

Ah okay its saving the Diamonds into the config file but how would i check if there already saved as right now its saving them but when i reload its starting from 0 again with my other config i did

Code:java

if(getConfig().getString(p.getName() + ".content") != null) {
 
    } else if(getConfig().getString(p.getName() + ".content") == null) {

but i can do that with a int

 

You can use "getConfig().contains("path.to.key")" to check if a key exists in config.

 

your config has to be in yml format

 

Sorry if I misunderstand, You should save config after setting sth in it.
Like here:

Code:java

plugin.getConfig().set(playerName + ".Diamonds", value)

You should saveConfig() after this, if You not it will be just stored temporary and after reload/restart it will disappear.
