How do I hook into vault?

I don't really understand the one of vaults page, so I was wondering if anyone of you know how to hook into vault? Or rather any permission system, this is for my first plugin that I will release so I wanna get it right.

I don't really know what Vault does exactly and I don't like plugin dependencies either because that means a loss of convenience. It's a pain to be forced to install a plugin that relies on another plugin that relies on another plugin that relies on another plugin when you only need the functionality of that one plugin and you want to set up the server really fast.

 

Look here https://github.com/MilkBowl/Vault#implementing-vault. It is everything you need I think.

 

Well, this plugin lists all Admins in a group, thus the need to hook into Vault

Maybe you didn't understand me? But this doesn't really solve my problem...

He does use permission system in that code. Isn't that what you need ?

 

I'm sorry, I didn't read it all the way through, this might work! Now if only there was a way to make it read all the people online in a certain group....

 

Most IDEs will show you all available methods. Methods are named conveniently, so I'm sure you will find a way.

 

I still can't....

 

You need to import Vault.jar into your project just like you imported the bukkit jar into it
Then you can add the functions they suggest - setupEcon(), setupPermissions(), etc - and call them in your onEnable

 

I did, but I still cannot get this to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What part is it failing at? You have to be more specific. Is it causing a NPE or other error. Does it show you the methods in your IDE for the econ / perms variables you've created. Have you tried adding debug messages to see how far it's getting correctly before it gets to a part where it fails.

 

OK so, I need to make a plugin that lists all Admins online right? But I cannot seem to no matter how hard I try, I want to make it, i don't want someone to make it for me. But I cannot seem to!!! I get an echo or I get nothing!
I have a blank page it front of me waiting to be coded on with the magic words, and they keep losing all their mana.

 

1. Import the Vault jar into your project, the same way the bukkit jar is imported
2. Verify that in your onEnable you can type something like "Player p; p." and when you hit the period it brings up a list of methods/variables that the Player object can have
3. Verify that in your onEnable you can type something like "Economy e; e." and when you hit the period it brings up a list of methods/variables that the Economy object can have
4. If it doesn't or there are underlines in your IDE you may be missing the vault imports at the top of your code:

import net.milkbowl.vault.economy.Economy;
import net.milkbowl.vault.permission.Permission;
5. Make a couple global variables, inside your class but outside any function like onEnable... public static Economy econ = null; public static Permission perms = null;
6. In your onEnable initialize them: if (!setupEconomy()) { ... log severe message... } setupPermissions();
7. You can get the code for how to initialize, along with the setupEconomy and setupPermissions functions, from the Vault website
8. Try to use the perms object like make a test command that does player.sendMessage(perms.playerHas(player, "my.permission")) give yourself the permission and see if it can read it properly
9. If vault is working properly, expand upon it by using perms.playerInGroup() to do what you're actually trying to do from the start

 

I still get errors underneath !setupEconomy/Permission/chat

package com.example.plugin;

import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import net.milkbowl.vault.chat.Chat;
import net.milkbowl.vault.economy.Economy;
import net.milkbowl.vault.permission.Permission;

public class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {

public Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
public static Economy econ = null;
public static Permission perms = null;
public static Chat chat = null;

@Override
public void onDisable() {
log.info(String.format("[%s] Disabled Version %s", getDescription().getName(), getDescription().getVersion()));
}

@Override
public void onEnable() {
if (!setupEconomy() ) {
log.info(String.format("[%s] - Disabled due to no Vault dependency found!", getDescription().getName()));
getServer().getPluginManager().disablePlugin(this);
return;
}
setupPermission();
setupChat();
}

Yes I have imported Vault

What is the error message you are getting?

 

If this is your whole class, you definitely need to add whole setupPermission methid first to be able to use it. You can't just toss setupPermission(); into your class code. Also you need to get Vault under your referenced libraries. If you did all these things, there is no way to get error.
And without providing more info about your error, it is very hard to help you.

 

Well somehow I do get an error, I don't know why
I am taking the code straight out of Vault's github, ADDED Vault as an external Jar, still get errors.

I f***ing hate my life! I figured it out.

And solution ? It would be great if you posted it. Was it package or something like that ?

 

EDIT got that worked out, testing the plugin now

Plugin.yml is wrong....

Is this new problem or old one ? In this case, class is wrong in plugin.yml or is obfuscated.

 

Same one i have been getting class is ok I think I posted the plugin.yml but I don't know whats wrong here

 

if this is in your plugin.yml: com.example.plugin.ExamplePlugin
you need to be able to find exactly this class in your exported jar: com/example/plugin/ExamplePlugin.class

 

that is in my plugin.yml what now I still
get the error

when I change it I in the plugin yml to match exactly what the class is and I get this!:

No problem.

 

And it is broken again! Oh my god I cannot get this to work right and it is killing me!!

 

What now ?

 

I dont know man, it is always something, here is my code.
http://pastebin.com/hN8binEC <-- New link updated a few things

 

Why do you have }} 2 brackets at the very bottom of your code? You have some bracket/indenting issues.
