Helper Functions #3: "setting"

This function forms the basis of letting you change your config settings in-game with a command.

Code:

private void setting(CommandSender sender, String setting, String value) {
    if (value.equals("true")) getConfig().set(setting, true);
    else if (value.equals("false")) getConfig().set(setting, false);
    else if (value.equals("null")) getConfig().set(setting, null);
    else {
        try { getConfig().set(setting, Double.parseDouble(value)); }
        catch (Exception e) { getConfig().set(setting, value); }
    }
    saveConfig(); sender.sendMessage(this.toString() + " setting has been changed.");
}

Just put that function anywhere in your plugin, then add this line to your onCommand function:

Code:

if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("setting") && args.length == 2) { setting(s, args[0], args[1]); return true; }

Now you will be able to change any of your configuration file settings from in-game with /setting category.subcategory.setting value

Of course you will want to set up permissions on the "setting" command so that only you/ops can use it!

 

you know that this is the wrong topic, like telled at the other 2 post, this should go into the resources section

 

I posted all three of these before anyone had replied and I learned my mistake. For some reason I overlooked the resource forum. I don't have access to move these threads or I would. Sorry for posting them.

 

Moved to the correct forum.
