Read/Write to config variable lists?

I want it to work like this:

Code:

test:
test2:
- player1: <variable>
- player2: <variable>
- player3: <variable>

How can I do this? Thanks!

 

why not like this:

Code:

test:
  test2:
    player1: <variable>
    player2: <variable>
    player3: <variable>

 

I basicly need it to store player names, and every 1200 ticks, add 1200 to every username in the "test2" thing.
I need it to loop, and detect whats there.
I already have a loop thing, that goes off every 1200 ticks, but how would I make this bit of the code work?

 

to get player1, player2 and player3 do:

Code:java

Set<String> players = getConfig().getConfigurationSection("test.test2").getKeys(false);

 

fireblast709 Can you give me some example code please?
Cos I basicly need a 1 min loop, and every 1 min it adds + 1200 to every player in "test2".

 

Code:java

Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable()
{
    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers())
        {
            getConfig().set("test.test2."+player, getConfig().getInt("test.test2."+player, 0)+1200);
            saveConfig();
        }
    }
},20L, 1200L);

Say, place this in your onEnable() and it should work (make sure you have a config!)

 

fireblast709 I want it to do it to everyone on the config, not just who's online.
And how would I add a player to the list?

 

if you put this in the config, it will add everyone to the list, and while they are online they get the 1200 added

 

Yaml defines this as an OrderedMap, however, in the Configuration API you have to deal with this as a list of maps.

 

fireblast709 I dont just want it to do it for online players. Thats easy to do using normal config variables.
I need it to do it to every player in the test2 thing, not who is online.
:L Im stuck here. lol

 

thebigdolphin1 small adjustment. Now it takes all the players from the config

Code:java

Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable()
{
    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        for(String player : getConfig().getConfigurationSection("test.test2").getKeys(false))
        {
            getConfig().set("test.test2."+player, getConfig().getInt("test.test2."+player, 0)+1200);
            saveConfig();
        }
    }
},20L, 1200L);

 

This may help you, from LockTime plugin http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/locktime/

Code:

public boolean addWorld(String newWorld, String time, CommandSender commandSender) {
        List<String> worldsList = new ArrayList<String>();
        worldsList = configManager.wtimes;
        for (String s : worldsList) {
            if (s.toLowerCase().startsWith(newWorld.toLowerCase())) {
                commandSender.sendMessage("§cWorld " + newWorld + " is already on the list!");
                return false;
            }
        }
        String nworld = (new StringBuilder(String.valueOf(newWorld))).append(" "+time).toString();
        
        worldsList.add(nworld);
        configManager.wtimes.add(nworld);
        this.getConfig().set("Worlds", worldsList);
        this.saveConfig();
        LockTime.configManager.loadConfig();
        return true;
    }

Code:

    public boolean removeWorld(String delWorld, CommandSender commandSender) {
        List<String> worldsList = new ArrayList<String>();
        worldsList = configManager.wtimes;
        for (String s : worldsList) {
            if(s.toLowerCase().startsWith((delWorld.toLowerCase()+" "))) {
                worldsList.remove(s);
                configManager.wtimes.remove(s);
                this.getConfig().set("Worlds", worldsList);
                this.saveConfig();
                LockTime.configManager.loadConfig();
                return true;
            }
        }
        commandSender.sendMessage("§cWorld " + delWorld + " not found on the list!");
        return false;
    }

 

fireblast709 thanks a lot for that code!
Really helped.
How would I add a player to the "test2" list with the value "0", and remove a player from "test2"?
Thanks!

 

getConfig().set("test.test2"+player.getName(), 0); to add,
getConfig().set("test.test2"+player.getName(), null); to remove

 

Thanks soooo much!
