How to getConfig() in another class?

Hey there,
I'm trying to make my plugin, but I need to getConfig in my ArrowListener class.

I have looked around. But none work.
I have attempted to do EIA.this.getConfig() but I get errors.

How would I go about fetching the config from a different class?

 

Give the arrow listener a constructor to give it the plugins instance while creating it - store it in a global variable then. Looks like this:

Code:java

public class ArrowListener
{
    private final YourPlugin plugin; // The global variable.
 
    public ArrowListener(YourPlugin plugin) // A method without a return type and the classes name is a constructor
    {
        this.plugin = plugin; //Save the given reference in our global variable.
    }
 
    public void something()
    {
        plugin.getConfig()...
    }
}

Then, in your main class, you need to use that constructor, so change your
new ArrowListener();
to
new ArrowListener(this);

 

Or, create a static variable in your plugin class and set it to this on onEnable, then in your ArrowListener, use EIA.instance.getConfig();

 

This is what I do.

 

kroltan Sushi don't forget to set all static variables to null in onDisable() or you will create memory leaks with /reload (that's why I avoid statics in bukkit whenever I can).

 

Using /reload is a pretty bad practice though.

 

oooh, I'll keep that in mind.

 

Thanks guys
I'm using V10lator's method. Works fine, so THANKS!
