Block place and config file

So, i want to create config, i have this code in my BlockListener,

Code:

        if(block.getType() == Material.MOB_SPAWNER && player.hasPermission("badblocks.allowmobspawner") == false)
        {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You are not allowed to use mobspawner on this server !");
            String msg = player.getName() + " tryed to place mobspawner at " + block.getX() + "," + block.getY() + "," + block.getZ() + ".";
            plugin.logMessage(msg);
            for (Player onlinePlayer : plugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers())
            {
                if (onlinePlayer.hasPermission("badblocks.notify"))
                {
                    onlinePlayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + msg);
                }
            }
        }

and i want something like this in config file:

AllowMobSpawner: False

Although from what you describe, it sound like what you really want is per player permissions:
http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial#Permissions

 

no i don't need permissions, i need tutorial how to create config file like:

AllowMobSpawner: False = Player can't place MobSpawner
AllowMobSpawner: True = Player can place MobSpawner

but this i want in config file..

 

The best format for config files these days (in my opinion) is YAML - as it's an included library in the bukkit build. Here's the documentation for the SnakeYAML library that bukkit utilises - it's rather in-depth and will give you a good idea of how to get the information out of your config.yml file.
http://code.google.com/p/snakeyaml/wiki/Documentation

For actually using the information, you could create a static boolean for whether the AllowMobSpawner's is true or false. Then simply reference whether it's true or false in whatever methods you plan to make for this.#

There is also a tutorial on using the bukkit standard configuration methods:

This.

 

ok, i created config file, and works perfect but i want in this code something like:

if (config.getBoolean(AllowMobSpawner) == false) and do this code down...

all this is in BlockListener so i don't know how to do it ...

Code:

        if(block.getType() == Material.MOB_SPAWNER && player.hasPermission("badblocks.allowmobspawner") == false)
        {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You are not allowed to use mobspawner on this server !");
            String msg = player.getName() + " tryed to place mobspawner at " + block.getX() + "," + block.getY() + "," + block.getZ() + ".";
            plugin.logMessage(msg);
            for (Player onlinePlayer : plugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers())
            {
                if (onlinePlayer.hasPermission("badblocks.notify"))
                {
                    onlinePlayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + msg);
                }
            }
        }

 

Ehm.. I think you understood wrong, what you did is use permissions, not a config file.

 

You have to create the setting with config.setProperty("allow-spawners", true) and then you can read it with config.getBoolean("allow-spawners")

 

Or just use config.getBoolean("allow-spawners", true);

 

@DexoD so you know how to do the config, you just want to use it in the listener?

 

Yes, i want use == if(config.getBoolean("AllowMobSpawner", true)) == in my BlockListener ...

 

@DexoD well in your main class, make all the config stuff, then in your listener, set it up so you can use the main class, so like:

Code:

MainClass plugin;
public Listener(MainClass plugin){
    this.plugin = plugin;
}

then use plugin.config instead of just config that SHOULD work, if not, tell me what happens

EDIT: and substitute MainClass for whatever your main classes name is, and Listener for whatever your listener is called.

 

Do you have a reference to your main pljgin instance in your listener? If so, you can do mainPlugin.config.getBoolean
The problem is that config is only defined for your main plugin, so you have To access your main plugin to get to the co fig.

 

ok, now i have:

Code:

        if(plugin.config.getBoolean("AllowMobSpawner", false))
        {
            if(block.getType() == Material.MOB_SPAWNER && player.hasPermission("badblocks.allowmobspawner") == false)
            {
                event.setCancelled(true);
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You are not allowed to use mobspawner on this server !");
                String msg = player.getName() + " tryed to place mobspawner at " + block.getX() + "," + block.getY() + "," + block.getZ() + ".";
                plugin.logMessage(msg);
                for (Player onlinePlayer : plugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers())
                {
                    if (onlinePlayer.hasPermission("badblocks.notify"))
                    {
                    onlinePlayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + msg);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

no errors but when i put in my config file AllowMobSpawner to True, and then nothing changed I cant put MobSpawner ..

 

Add a ! In the first if : if(!plugin.config...)

You're currently testing if the setting is true, and if it's true, prevent block placing. The false in the getBoolean is only the default value.

 

THXXXX GUYYYSSS, works ...

 

Glad you got it working ^^
