Use Variable From Config In Listener Class?

Hello,

I'm having trouble using a boolean set in my plugin's config in a listener class. In my main class, I have this:

Code:

config = getConfig();
this.getConfig().set("Block-Creeper-Explosion", true);
boolean creeperPower = this.getConfig().getBoolean("Block-Creeper-Explosion", true);

My EntityListener looks something like this:

Code:

public CreeperBlock plugin;
public CreeperBlockEntityListener (CreeperBlock instance) {
    plugin = instance;
}
public void onCreeperPower(CreeperPower event) {
    if (creeperPower is equal to true) {
        event.setCancelled(true)
    } else {
        blah blah
    }

I need to know how to check the value of the creeperPower boolean in this class, any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 

invoke the getConfig method of your plugin.

 

You can't since it isn't a field variable.

 

Would you care to elaborate? An example maybe?

 

you did this:

Code:

public Cunstructor(Parameter param)
{
   Variable var=getVar();
}

You need this:

Code:

public Variable var=new Variable();

public Cunstructor(Parameter param)
{
  var=getVar();
}

 

Of course methods are not field variables.

@ryanclancy000
in our listener i see you have your plugin as a field so under your else clause

Code:

FileConfiguration plugin config = plugin.getConfig();
// off you go do stuff

 

You just said the exact same thing I did >.>

 

I mentioned nothing about the constructor, err cunstrutor as you call it.

Actually the step assigning it to a local variable is optional.

 

I was assuming that he had put it in a constructor which I realise is stupid because it uses onEnable()

I was pointing out that the variable declaration has to be outside of a method/constructor

 

Actually it is bad to assign the return to a field level class as getConfig can return different objects, so you should only declare it at a local level, inside a method.

 

But he wouldn't be able to reach it outside of the class, which is what he wanted

 

You can always reach the FileConfiguraiton object if you have a reference to his plugin's main class, which he does. getConfig is a public method you know...

 

I believe he wanted to load the boolean "creeperPower" once in his main class and then access it later.
