getConfig()

RESOLVED
Hi, im new to bukkit programming and a beginner in java, so please excuse the noob question
How can i use getConfig() outside of the main class?
i've tried looking it up but i only found confusing answers.
basically what im trying to do is getConfig().getString("toggle") for example, in another class.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use this.getConfig() .... or MainClassName.getConfig()

 

mainclassname.getConfig() gets me this error Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getConfig() from the type JavaPlugin
and this.getConfig() wants me to make a method?

 

Pass your Main class object to the constructor of the other class, store it in a variable and use variable.getConfig() to call it.

 

im sorry i cant figure that out.. could i have an example? i tried google but its not making sense to me.. again sorry.. im trying to learn as much as i can so i can stop bugging the forums

 

Main class:
onEnable(){
YourOtherClass class = new YourOtherClass(this);
}

YourOtherClass:
private Main instance;
public YourOtherClass(Main instance){
this.instance = instance;
}

public void yourEvent(SomeEvent event){
instance.getConfig().whatever();
}

Ok, this isnt working for me :/
this is the class wobBlockListener

Code:

package com.wobhosting.wobplugin;
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
 
public class wobBlockListener implements Listener {
    public static WobPlugin plugin;
    public static Material[] blacklist = {Material.TNT};
 
   
    public wobBlockListener() {
   
    }
   
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event){
        Material block = event.getBlock().getType();
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
    //    config().options().
        //this.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
    if(plugin.getConfig().getString("BlackList")=="true"){
    if(player.isOp()){
       
    }else
        for(Material blocked : blacklist){
            if(blocked == block){
                if(player.isOp()){}
                else{
                    event.getBlock().setType(Material.AIR);
                    player.chat("I just placed " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + blocked);
                }
            }
        }
        }
        else{
           
        }
    }
   
   
   
}

and this is the main class, WobPlugin

Code:

public class WobPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    public static WobPlugin plugin;
    public final wobBlockListener bl = new wobBlockListener();
   
    public final wobPlayerListener pl = new wobPlayerListener();
//declaring config
    FileConfiguration config;
   
   
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdffile = this.getDescription();
        this.logger.info(pdffile.getName() + " Version " + pdffile.getVersion()
                + " has been disabled :(");
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
       
        PluginDescriptionFile pdffile = this.getDescription();
        this.logger.info(pdffile.getName() + " Version " + pdffile.getVersion()
                + " has been enabled");
        //register events
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvents(bl, this);
        pm.registerEvents(pl, this);
       
        //register commands
        getCommand("roll").setExecutor(new wobRoll());
        //getCommand("restart").setExecutor(new wobRestart());
        //getCommand("wob roll tell").setExecutor(new wobRoll());
 
        //setting config defaults
       
        setupConfig();
        //get config
        //getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        //saveConfig();
        //saveDefaultConfig()?
       
 
       
    }
    public void setupConfig() {
 
        config = this.getConfig();
 
        // fill in these addDefaults with your config values
        config.addDefault("MOTD" , "need a minecraft host? go to www.wobhosting.com");
        config.addDefault("motdToggle", "on");
        config.addDefault("BlackList", "off");
      //  config.addDefault();
        //config.addDefault();
 
        config.options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
    }

Theres more at the end but i dont think you need that in this case.
trying what you said didnt work it gives me errors. However when i do plugin.getConfig() it removes the errors but then in console it freaks out saying theres an error on that line. "Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.wobhosting.wobplugin.wobBlockListener.onBlockPlace(wobBlockListener.java:30)
"
sorry for the extensive questions. But anyones help will help me greatly and teach me more and hopefully one day i can be good enough to help the beginners on this forum and contribute instead of just asking noob questions.

 

Code:

    public wobBlockListener(Plugin p) {
    plugin = p;
    }

Code:

wobBlockListener bl = new wobBlockListener(this);

 

Brent Fagersten Ah, the WoBPlugin. I reviewed that this morning, I think
In your main class, replace

Code:

public final wobBlockListener bl = new wobBlockListener();

with

Code:

public wobBlockListener bl;

In your onEnable, do

Code:

bl = new wobBlockListener(this);

In your wobBlockListener class, change the constructor (or let it auto-generate by your IDE), and save the variable to your 'plugin' variable.

ok, so i dont really understand what you mean by change the constructor and save the variable to your 'plugin' variable.

and thanks for accepting my plugin

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Code:

public wobBlockListener(WobPlugin main){
this.plugin = main;
}

 

Brent Fagersten
Look up 'java constructor' as this really isn't too hard

THANK YOU! that works. thank you for putting up with me much appreciated!
