{HELP} Player Teleport

I am getting the error: This method teleport(location) in the type Entity is not applicable for the arguments (string)
Here is my code:

Code:java

player.teleport(getConfig().getString(args[2] + "SpawnLobby"));

Thanks in advance!
BTW the args 2 is because they are typing in the command /mc join (arena name)
and the arena name spawnlobby's are in the config

 

You can't teleport an entity to a string. You can teleport an entity to either a Location or Entity.

 

stealth2800 So how do i teleport them to someplace predetermined?

 

The F

You have to create a location. Locations require a world, a x, a y, and a z coordinate.
If you just want to teleport them to a world's spawn then you can use this.

Code:java

Player player = (Player) sender;
World w = p.getworld//gets the world the current player is in
//World w = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("spawn");//replace "spawn" with the name of the world you want to get
 
p.teleport(w.getSpawnLocation());

Otherwise use something like this

Code:java

Player player = (Player) sender;
Location l = new Location(player.getWorld(), x, y, z);
player.teleport(l);

 

But i have custom arena names in my arena file. How do i teleport to certain locations in the arena file?

 

You have to save the world name, x, y and z coordinates in the arena file, then load them up and create the location

 

How do i "Load them up and create the location"

Code:

Location LobbySpawn = (Location) this.getConfig().getString(args[2] + "Spawn1");

Locations cannot be set to strings how do I do this?

The Fancy Whale
Heard of constructors before? This is why you leans java BEFORE using the Bukkit API

 

You could do something like

Code:

World world = Bukkit.getWorld(getConfig().getString("spawn.world"));
int x = getConfig().getInt("spawn.x");
int y = getConfig().getInt("spawn.y");
int z = getConfig().getInt("spawn.z");
Location location = new Location(world, x, y, z);

Implying that the config looks something like

Code:

spawn:
  world: world_nether
  x: 500
  y: 60
  z: -300

Constructors are just basic Java. If you don't know what they are, you should be working on learning Java a little bit more instead before you move on to making things with it.

 

stealth2800 I know how to do that but it is not letting me use an argument in place of the word spawn in that case

 

It will just make sure you include the dot where necessary.

 

You are missing the YAML period before "SpawnLobby"

Code:java

args[2].toString() + ".SpawnLobby"
