Solved save an integer assigned to a player in a config

hey bukkit community!

I want to create a simple level system for players. For this, I want to use a config.

So, I want to assign the Level which is an integer to the player, and I want to save that in a config.
Thanks

Use bukkit's default config, you can use getConfig().set("path", value) to do so.

 

Probably not a good idea if you are going to store a dynamic dataset.

 

@Kars
OP said he wanted to use a config. Alternatives are (within reasonable range) creating a custom configuration or using IO .

 

Wouldn‘t using bukkits default config getting it for all of the players? I would like to save it with the players name, is there a possibility doing that with bukkits default config?

 

@maxwell71
You want the config to have the same name as the player? If so, you'd have to use a custom config for that.

 

Sorry, my mistake. I mean that INSIDE the config, I want a line with the players name, and the next line should be the players level.

You can do that with bukkits default config.

Just use getConfig().set(playername, level);

Although, I would recommend you use the player's UUID rather than their name as they could change their name and lose all of their progress.

 

Okay, my solution:

making a string that catches a players UUID:
String UUIDString = p.getUniqueId().toString();

making an int:
int xplevel = Main.getPlugin().getConfig().getInt(UUIDString + ".level");

and finally, setting the string and the .level in the config:
Main.getPlugin().getConfig().set(UUIDString + ".level", 0); (Main.getPlugin() because I have this in a different class)

Thanks everyone for their help!

Make sure to check that the config contains the level integer before you try and get it.
