Config Values from other plugin

I have a main plugin and I was wondering if I was able to get the value of the config in the main one in my new (extra) plugin.

Like you do this:
plugin.config.....

Doing something like this:
<pluginname>.config.....

Use the PluginManager or something??

Thanks if you do help

 

Code:

Plugin plugin = getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin(<PLUGINNAME>);

Now, you can use

Code:

plugin.getConfig();

to get the config.
Note, this can only be done in mostly the main class file. Some classes may not have the method getServer() attached.

 

Yes.

Not true at all. You can call Bukkit.getServer() from anywhere.

 

Thanks for showing me

But...
Plugin aconomy = getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin(AConomy);

the AConomy part is underlined red. Shall I just ignore that?
Also I have added the
depend: [AConomy] (in plugin.yml)

Thanks again

 

Read the Javadocs: getPlugin() takes a String argument:

PHP:

Plugin aconomy = getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("AConomy");


And be sure to check the return value and ensure that aconomy is not null (and if you're being paranoid, ensure that aconomy is really an instance of the plugin class you're expecting).

And (assuming you're using Eclipse but I suspect other IDE's will highlight errors similarly) - no, never ignore anything underlined in red. Check the Problems view, find out what the error is, and fix it.

 

I usually pass the instance of the plugin to whatever class needs it, like so:

Code:

public class MyPluginPlayerListener extends PlayerListener {

    MyPlugin plugin;

    public MyPluginPlayerListener(MyPlugin instance) {
        plugin = instance;
    }

Is this okay too?

 

Yes, that's a perfectly reasonable way do it.

 

Ohh I forgot about the " "
How noob of me xD

Thanks!

One question... how would I do this

On the main plugin this is what you do to get the balance of the player
plugin.config.getInt(player.getName() + " Balance"));
Now on the other plugin if I wanted to get that balance and the thing was like this
Plugin aconomy = plugin.getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("AConomy");

What would I do?
Everything I have tryed has gave me a error

I have done this so far

FileConfiguration aConfig = aconomy.getConfig();

-----------edit------------
Think I know...
aConfig.getInt(player.getName()+" Balance"));



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

 

aconomy.getConfig() should work, in theory. What's the error you're getting?

 

I would suggest to look into VAULT which handles all economies... if aconomy is just a place holder..

 

You can also use just Bukkit.* instead of getServer().*

 

aConfig.getInt(player.getName()+" Balance"));

This is the same as (in my case) aConfig.getInt("coldandtired Balance"));

Is that how the balance is stored? Or should it be coldandtired.Balance?

 

aConfig.getInt(player.getName() + ".balance");

or

aConfig.getInt("coldandtired.balance");

 

Yes, I know that

I was asking the OP if the String he's building was the one he thought it was.

 

@coldandtired
@rasb

I have sorted it now

No need to worry!
