Solved Overwriding stuff in the config?

Hey ther I have a problem
I'm creating a plugin(with quests...)
I'm saving the quests in a config.
Now I want do create a command to change the name of the quest
but how can i do this?

config (Example):

Code:

villagers:
  Villagername:     (NameToChange)
    X: 0.0
    Y: 0.0
    Z: 0.0
    Yaw: 0.0
    Pitch: 0.0
    World: world
    freeze: true
    rewads:
      coins: 100
      ...
    other stuff....
  OtherNames...
....

How can I now change the name of the villager without creating a compledly new one?

Sry for spelling mistake and thanks for supporte in advance!

 

If the name of the villager is not a unique or final string than I would not use it as key in in the config.
You could rather set it up like this:

Code:

villagers:
    villager1:
        custom-name: (easily changeable value)
        world: world
        ...

 

yes that is an good idea but the thing is I need to get them by there name

so I wand to make a command like: /villager <villagername(customname)> <edit> <name/reward/quest>
How can I make this?
is there a way to search yust the custom name ?

Example:

Code:

villagers:

  villager1:
    customname: Test123
    X: 0.0
    Y: 0.0
    Z: 0.0
    Yaw: 0.0
    Pitch: 0.0
    World: world
    freeze: true
    rewads:
      coins: 100
      ...
  villager2:
    customname: Test456
    X: 0.1
    Y: 3.4
    Z: 2.3
    ...
  villager3:
    customname: Test456124235aawawdawd
    X: 3.4
    Y: 1.2
    Z: 56.1
....

So how can I now get the Location for example of the villager just by there custom names?
Is that posible?

Sry for spelling mistake!

 

Use a HashMap,
this can be sort of tricky to save in a config properly, so read this if you haven't already:
https://bukkit.gamepedia.com/Configuration_API_Reference#HashMaps

Easiest way would be to just make a HashMap<String, Quest>. (or what ever your "Quest" is called, it seems to already be serializing into your config so it should work.)
Then you can simply use yourHashMap.get("yourVillager'sName");
and that will get your quest by villager name.



If it isn't letting you use quest as a value for some reason, alternatively you can simply make a HashMap<String, Integer>.
The String will be the villagers name, and the int will be the index in your list (villager1 is at index 0)
The you can do yourHashMap.get("yourVillagersName"), and then that will return a numbered index for you, then you can use that index to get a hold of the entire object you wish to operate on.

villagers.get(yourHashMap.get("yourVillagersName"));

 

Uuuuuhmmm... You can iterate through all villagers in the config and check which one has the fitting custom-name.
With getConfig().getConfigurationSection("villagers").getKeys(false) you will get a list with the strings of all listed villagers. Like "villager3" and all the others.
You can then go through these villager-"keys" and check if their custom-name equals your value.

 

That worked, thank you very much!
