config.yml help

ok so i made a simple plugin which has some of the commands that are available in essentials but i have a question about it

here is a snippit of one section

Code:java

                if (CommandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("gm0")){
                    if(args.length == 0){
                        p.setGameMode(GameMode.SURVIVAL);
                        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Gamemode Updated.");
                    }else if(args.length == 1){
                        if(p.getServer().getPlayer(args[0])!=null){
                        Player targetPlayer = p.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                        targetPlayer.setGameMode(GameMode.ADVENTURE);
                        targetPlayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Gamemode Updated");
                    }else{
                        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Player Not Online");
                    }
                    }
                    return true;
                }

How would i make this so i have a config file & for each command i have there would be a allow command true/false and the default for everything would be true?

Or would this mean i have to rewrite everything?

I have never used configs before so i just need a nudge in the right direction.

 

There are plenty of tutorials on configs out there. Here is one of them: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Configuration_API_Reference

browsed over that and while it may seem like a simple guide i still am unsure how to do this

 

RebzO1 I'm pretty tired so I will not test the following code. (I strongly disapprove of just copy and pasting code, so I'll add comments explaining it, please read them). Note: I skipped all the imports and just got to the bit you need.
So make a config.yml file in your project, not in your package. It should look something like this:

Code:

command1: true
command2: true

You can replace command1 and command2 with any name you want.
I'll explain more about that later.

Now in your onEnable() write:

Code:java

onEnable(){
getServer().getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
saveConfig();
//We're getting the configuration file, accessing the options and specifying that the server should copy the default values we set in the config file(both true)
//Then we're saving the config.
}

Now in onCommand():

Code:java

 if (cmd.getName("gm0")){
if(getConfig().getBoolean("command1")){
//getting the Config, accessing the path called "command1" which returns a boolean value, since it returns a boolean value we don't need to put a condition.
if(args.length == 0){
p.setGameMode(GameMode.SURVIVAL);
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Gamemode Updated.");
}
}

Warning: Untested. I'm really tired and I didn't try it in eclipse or anything so there's a medium chance that it will return an error, just tag me back if you receive an error. Not to mention, it's been a while since I've worked with configuration files.

 

Caprei
ok now that i understand..
i will test right now and post again with results

Caprei
seems good apart from

on this line:
getServer().getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);

i get this error:
The method getConfig() is undefined for the type Server
What could this be?

ill have to change it back to the way it was for now players just lost the ability to used everythin

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

RebzO1 Can you show where you have putten that line? Otherwise we don't know what you did wrong.

 

changed

getServer().getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
to
((Plugin) getServer()).getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);

the error went away and all commands work (haven't tested changing something to false yet.)
but now i get

Code:

Why would you want to cast Plugin to getServer(). Makes 0 sense. Either you do Bukkit.getServer() or plugin.getServer() where plugin is the instance of your main class.

 

L33m4n123
because im still learning and that was eclipses quickfix

changed too:
Bukkit.getServer().getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);

Error now reverts to previous:
The method getConfig() is undefined for the type Server

 

After looking at this http://wiki.bukkit.org/Configuration_API_Reference

.getConfig() is not a method from getServer(). It's a method from JavaPlugin.. So you need to get the instance of your main class

 

L33m4n123
i read through that and ill be honest, understood some things but not it all

how would i get the instance from my Main.class

== edit ==
im sorry about the noob question if it comes across that way
but i do appreciate your help

 

RebzO1 Woops, you aren't supposed to do getServer()... Sorry, I was tired.

In your onEnable(), You shouldn't have Bukkit.getServer().getConfig()....
It should just be getConfig().options().copydefaults(true);

 

RebzO1
Or create a static method in your Main class:

Code:java

Main plugin;
 
public static Main getPlugin() {
return plugin;
}
 

Then in your onEnable()

Code:java

//Put this line of code in your onEnable
plugin = this

Then call this method by doing <Class that extends JavaPlugin>.getPlugin().getConfig() etc etc.

 

Caprei
lol don't worry about it,
done what you said and its fixed

so once again thank you for your time

 

RebzO1 No problem, I hope you read my comments explaining it?

 

Caprei
ya i understand now so atleast thats one question i won't have to ask again
