Saving CuboidSelections

Do any of you guys/girls know the best way to save an array list of cuboid selections?

Btw, cuboid selections is from world edit.

 

Save the schematic for each element in the arraylist to an directory

 

@Link_Awesomesause
(This is assuming you mean saving the sections to a config)

1. Create a for int loop that loops through the cuboid selections collection as an array
   
2. Save each cuboid selection at index "I" to the address "path.to.cuboids.I"

 

@Zombie_Striker
And then how would I retrieve it?

 

@Link_Awesomesause

1. Get the ConfigurationSection at "path.to.cuboid" (without the .I)
2. Loop through all of the paths using the ConfigurationSection.getKeys(Deep) method.
3. Get each value at each path and put it into the array.

 

@Zombie_Striker
As to my knowledge, there is know way to convert a string(?) to a cuboid selection

 

@Link_Awesomesause
Then make one It depends on what you want to do: Save everything INSIDE the selection to later restore it (use Fishey's approach) or just the selection [e.g. from (1|1|1) to (2|2|2)]. If it is the latter, Zombie_Striker provided the solution.

For the latter:
You will need to convert the two locations of the selection to a String and then later restore it.

(Since 1.8, I think, Location implements ConfigurationSerializable, so you can directly save the Location. This way you can save it at "path.to.cuboid.loc1" and "path.to.cuboid.loc2" and then just use the #get(path) method to get the Locations at the given path. Cast them to Location and recreate the Cuboid selection.).

 

Omg.. thank u sooo much.. although this is a little late, as I wrote a huge chunk of code to get x,y and z of every location and save them under path.to.cuboid.loc1.x and so on...

this is gonna save soo many lines.. xD
