[SOLVED] Subtract Money With Vault

I need to do as the title says. Let me show you the code so I can better explain.

Code:

public void subtractMoney(Player player, int cost) {
    String playername = player.getName();
    if(useEcon) {
        double balance = econ.getBalance(playername);
        //needs to subtract money here
    }
}

Where you see the comment. I need something like econ.setbalance or something equivalent to it. Any suggestions?

 

Did you set up economy from vault as explained in their tutorial ? (Still, their tutorial is a bit wrong from the syntax point...)

If not for whatever reason, look here: https://github.com/THDigi/RecipeManager/blob/master/digi/recipeManager/Econ.java
I'm using there to get Vault's economy and iConomy separately, you could support both like I did but you can just support only Vault.

 

Hm... I tried using code similar to yours, however it doesnt work.

 

I use this:

Code:

economy.withdrawPlayer(playername, amount)

 

Why don't you post it and post any errors that you may have ?

But yeah, basically you just do economy.depositPlayer(playername, amount), amount can be a negative value to subtract or just use economy.withdrawPlayer(playername, amount) after you've set up the economy which is fairly simple, just place this in your main class:

Code:

private Economy economy;

// in onEnable()

if(Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("Vault") instanceof Vault)
{
	RegisteredServiceProvider<Economy> service = Bukkit.getServicesManager().getRegistration(net.milkbowl.vault.economy.Economy.class);

	if(service != null)
		economy = service.getProvider();
}

// .. in whatever event

economy.depositPlayer(player.getName(), -100); // subtract 100 money from player

That's all there is to it... but ofc check if economy != null before doing something economy related, to be sure vault is loaded... that unless you want vault as a requirement, in my class vault is optional.

 

Actually, the amount may NOT be negative, as I learned from Sleaker recently (and the Vault API docs have been updated to make this clear now). To remove money, you must use withdrawPlayer().

Oukay.
I used that initially but then changed it so I don't have to use Math.abs() on that value and so many conditions xD
It would've been easier to just use one method for adding or removing.

 

Yeah. It's not too hard to work around though, e.g. I made this change to SMS: https://github.com/desht/ScrollingMenuSign/commit/97f3110236c491d95834eea81a0a68d5ec5a885a

 

Okay. It's working now. Thank you all for the help!
