Saving locations in .yml file

Hey,

I think this is fairly simple, yet I can't figure it out. This is what I need:

When the player types in a command, it gets the target block's location, and saves it's x, y, z, and world values in the .yml file. When the player walks over the saved location, it does something.

Any help? I've tried making for loops, but it can only loop through lists or arrays, and I'm stuck.

Currently, my .yml file looks like this. It can be changed though.

ChuteLocations:
'1'
x: 324
y: 34
z: 343
'2'
x: 334
y: 36
z: 345

This seems like it should be simple, but for whatever reason I am blanking out on this.

 

I use this guys tutorial in combination with the information provided here

save method

Code:java

 
public void saveYamls() {
try {
config.save(configFile);
 
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
this.getPluginLoader().disablePlugin(this);
}
}
 

set value's

Code:java

 
config.set("Donator.x", dox);
config.set("Donator.y", doy);
config.set("Donator.z", doz);
config.set("Donator.p", dop);
config.set("Donator.r", dor);
 

Using your information you can make loops that look like:

Code:java

 
private int getSome() {
int count = 0;
while(config.contains("something."+count)){
count = count +1;
}
return count;
}
 

with:

Code:java

 
 
length = getSome();
for(int i =0; i<length; i++){
config.get("Yourpath."+i);
}
 

 

Thanks!

 

Do you save it in the config.yml or a new file
if it is a new file can you teach me how to make a new file
thanks

 

To tell the truth, its currently in the config file, because I don't know either

 

ow okay but thanks for your reply
