Solved Saving an ArrayList<Location> in Yaml

Hello there,
I am working on a FFA plugin for a friend.
So, I have a spawnLocations ArrayList<Location> thats stores all the spawn locations.
Now, I want to save the list in the config file in the onDisable and to load it in the onEnable as the "data.spawns" path. I tried to put this in the onDisable():

Code:

this.getConfig().set("data.spawns", PlayerManager.spawnLocations);
this.saveConfig();

But I get an error which tells that the Location type is not compatible with Yaml.

How could I save it and so could be compatible with loading it too?

I would strongly recommend actually saving the x,y,z,world instead of an actual location.

Yes, Barking_Squirrel has the right idea. You can't save an instance of location, you're better off storing the coordinates (which should include the world to be safe).

Thanks, but my main problem is not saving it (that's easy), but it is to load it.

 

Load and deserialize.
