Solved Access Config In Static Method

Hey there, does anyone know of a way to access the config with getConfig() properly in a static method?
Thanks!

 

You can store it in a static variable at your main class.

 

Make a static instance of your plugin, and use that.

 

hexagon Ivan Thanks for the help, but I've decided to completely recode my plugin as I was overusing the static keyword, and it caused limitations with Bukkit's built-in methods, so i will just be using instances of classes in my main class. However, I don't exactly understand getters and setters, so if you could help that would be fantastic! Thanks

 

Code:java

 
private JavaPlugin plugin;
 
public void setPlugin(Plugin plugin) {
this.plugin = plugin;
}
 
public JavaPlugin getPlugin() {
return plugin;
}

That's it, getter and setter.

 

Imagine a method,
void method(Argument arg){}

Notice the "void" keyword. A simplified definition of "void" could be, nothing. That is, it returns nothing, it only executes code.

Now look at a method that returns an object/primitive.

Code:java

String s(){
return "s";
}

If I called that from another method that tells the player that string, it would be :
player.sendMessage(s());

Which would be the exact same as
player.sendMessage("s");

Now imagine a method in another class that returns a variable in that class :

Code:java

public class c{
private String s = "s";
 
public void getS(){
return s;
}
}

If I were to do this:

player.sendMessage(new c().getS());

It would be the exact same as:

player.sendMessage("s");

In other words, getS() would return the variable called s in the class c, then send it to the player.

For setters, it's the same.

Code:java

class c{
private String s = "";
 
public void setS(String toSetTo){
s = toSetTo;
}
}

and executing c.setS("s");

This would be the same as:

public static String s = "";
classThatHasThatStaticVariable.s = "s";

However, the true beauty of the getter and the setter is that you're converting a variable into a method, and you're able to do awesome stuff like make it synchronized, which I recommend for every map/arraylist.

Code:java

class c{
String s = "";
 
public synchronized String getS(){
return s;
}
public synchronized void setS(String toSetTo){
s = toSetTo;
}
}

EDIT: Sorry for not using code tags, it takes up more space than this for 1 line lines of code.
