getConfig() help

Hi. I am making a plugin that when you go into water, you take damage. I am having trouble, getting errors, when I getConfig().String("...").

Here is my code for my event.

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent event)
    {
      if (event.getTo().getBlock().getType().equals(Material.STATIONARY_WATER))
      {
        final int damageAmount = 1; //get from config
        if( event.getPlayer().getHealth() <= 20.00){
            if( event.getPlayer().getHealth() >= 0.00) {
                event.getPlayer().damage(damageAmount);
                event.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You can't swim!");//get from config
 
        }
        }
    }
    }
}
 

Thanks in advance.

You cannot call the getConfig() method outside of the main class(class which extends JavaPlugin) you will have to get the instance of you main class which can easily be done with a constructor like this
private MainClassNameHere plugin;
public classNameHere(MainClassNameHere instance) {
this.plugin = instance;
}
Now you can get the int in your config like so
plugin.getConfig().getInt("damageAmount");

allright! I would do same thing in this case!

 

Harmings Thanks! And any idea why I have this issue?

Code:java

@Override
public void onEnable() {
    log.info("[Water] Enabled.");
    loadConfiguration();
    Listener WaterEvent = new WaterEvent();
    PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
    Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(WaterEvent, this);
}

The error is on "new WaterEvent()". I set that instead of registerEvents(new WaterEvent(), this); because I got an error there and it fixed it before. Now I have the error again.

Listener WaterEvent = new WaterEvent(this);
