[HELP] Getting an integer from a player's permission?

For example, I would like to use the 100 part of the permission stone.iron.100 of a player. How would I do that?

I also want to use that integer as a percentage AKA there will be more than 1 permission. (e.g. stone.iron.90, stone.iron.1, stone.iron.6, etc). How can I get it without setting up individual permissions?

 

You could split the string at the "." and then use the different parts. For example, consider this:

Code:java

String permission = "stone.iron.100";
String[] parts = permission.split(".");
// parts[0] = "stone"
// parts[1] = "iron"
// parts[2] = "100"
// do other useful stuff

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you

EDIT: @thescreem Would it be possible to get the integer's number without setting up each one individually? I want to use it as a percentage in the rest of the plugin.

 

you don't need to set them, by using split, it will return an array, every cell will contain part of the original string.
In your case, spliting "stone.iron.100", will give you an array which contains the following strings :

stone
iron
100

the location in the array is :
parts[0] ==> "stone"
parts[1] ==> "iron"
parts[2] ==> "100"

 

No, I meant something like this:

Code:

parts[0] = "stone"
parts[1] = "iron"
int a = parts[2]

Would a get the last number (of 100)?

 

Well, yes and no. You'd have to parse parts[2] into an Integer because it's currently a String. To do that you use a simple method: int a = Integer.parseInt(parts[2]);

To use even fewer lines of code, you could do:

Code:JAVA

String permission = "stone.iron.100";
int a = Integer.parseInt(permission.split(".")[2]);

But if you want to do other things with the other parts of the permission, it would be more efficient to store all the split parts of the permission node in a String array, as shown above: String[] parts = permission.split(".");

 

Awesome. Thanks!

 

I didn'y say that parts[3] is equal to 100, I said that 100 is what stored in there as a string.
