Save a location in config and get it

Hello
How to save a location, And get the location back from the config?

 

If you're just looking for one location, you can do:

Code:java

this.getConfig().setInt("x", p.getLocation().getBlockX());
this.getConfig().setInt("y", p.getLocation().getBlockY());
this.getConfig().setInt("z", p.getLocation().getBlockZ());

then to get it do:

Code:java

this.getConfig().getInt("x");
this.getConfig().getInt("y");
this.getConfig().getInt("z");

 

JBoss925 And in my onenable? I saw i need some code there
And how to make a location from it when you get it?

 

Code:java

new Location(p.getWorld, this.getConfig().getInt("x"), this.getConfig().getInt("y"), this.getConfig().getInt("z"));

 

JBoss925 But i need to put some code in the onenable to load up the config i saw

 

Just save the vector:

Code:java

Location loc;//location to serialize
FileConfiguration yourConfig;//should reference whatever configuration file you're using
yourConfig.set("some-location", loc.getVector());
Vector v = (Vector) yourConfig.get("some-location");
Location configLocation = v.toLocation(/*pass a world object*/);

You'll need to either keep track of the world yourself (serialize the world's UUID) or supply it to the Vector#toLocation, but that's the gist of it.

 

This is a strong indicator that you are looking to be spoon-fed. Never program from the perspective of what code you need to put, but instead what you need to do, and then from there extrapolate the necessary code. There is no such thing as magic code or a specific bunch of code that magically makes things work.

Anyways, we can help you with parts of loading the config, but we are not going to spoon-feed you the code if you don't understand what it does and instead intend to blindly copy+paste it.

 

coasterman10 I I do not need a whole sermon about this.... Its only a question...

 

ArthurHoeke In that case, your question appears to already have been answered.

 

@1Rogue's answer is correct and simple, but if you still don't understand, add following methods into your class (Better create a new Utils class).

Code:java

public static Location stringToLocation(String string) {
        if (string.split(",").length != 5 && string.split(",").length != 3) return null;
        return string == null ? null : string.split(",").length == 5
                ? new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(string.split("@")[0]), Double.parseDouble(string.split("@")[1].split(",")[0]), Double.parseDouble(string.split(",")[1]), Double.parseDouble(string.split(",")[2]), Float.parseFloat(string.split(",")[3]), Float.parseFloat(string.split(",")[4]))
                : new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(string.split("@")[0]), Double.parseDouble(string.split("@")[1].split(",")[0]), Double.parseDouble(string.split(",")[1]), Double.parseDouble(string.split(",")[2]));
    }
 
    public static String locationToString(Location location) {
        return (location.getYaw() == 0 && location.getPitch() == 0)
                ? location.getWorld().getName() + "@" + location.getX() + "," + location.getY() + "," + location.getZ()
                : location.getWorld().getName() + "@" + location.getX() + "," + location.getY() + "," + location.getZ() + "," + location.getYaw() + "," + location.getPitch();
    }

To save a location into a string, use

Code:java

Location location = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("world"), 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 0, 0);
config.set("location", locationToString(location));

You should get following things in your config (of course! you need to saveConfig(); first.)

location: [email protected],2.0,3.0,0.0,0.0

To load a string into a location, use

Code:java

Location location = stringToLocation(config.getString("location"));

I have to admit that this is kind-of spoon-fed, so please learn the code yourself and try to understand how it works. If you have question you can ask me.
