String to Location!?

Hey Guys,

i wanted to ask you, if there is a way to change String to Location?

I have this ...

PHP:

                        String x = this.plugin.getConfig().getString("meeting.location.x");
                        String y = this.plugin.getConfig().getString("meeting.location.y");
                        String z = this.plugin.getConfig().getString("meeting.location.z");
                        String world = this.plugin.getConfig().getString("meeting.location.world");


and i want to teleport a Player to this Location but it says its a String not a Location...

Thanks a LOT!

Ofcourse

• You can retrieve an integer from a string using
  Code:java

  Integer.parseInt(String);

• You would rather save an integer to the config using
  Code:java

  getConfig().set("Path", x); //x = integer (no quotes)

  then u can just use
  Code:java

  getConfig().getInt("path");

• You could make this lot's more compact by converting the entire location to a string, then retrieve every needed object from that entire string. Using
  
  Code:java

  private String location2String(Location loc){
  return loc.getWorld().getName()+","+loc.getX()+","+loc.getY()+","+loc.getZ();
  }

  Then u can
  
  Code:java

  private Location string2Loc(String string){
  String[] s = string.split(",");
  return new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(s[0]), Integer.parseInt(s[1]), Integer.parseInt(s[2]), Integer.parseInt(s[3]));
  }

EDIT:
With your current code you can do,

Code:java

Location loc = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(world), Integer.parseInt(x), Integer.parseInt(y), Integer.parseInt(z));

EDIT2:
Changed syntax to java

Thanks a LOT!

Unica

and if I want to change the Default in the Config can I do this or what can I do?

PHP:

this.plugin.getConfig().set("meeting.location.x", p.getLocation().getX());

JeykoExample

I would rather do

Code:java

p.getLocation().getBlockX();

because getX() doesn't exactly return an integer. getBlockX does

Don't forget to use saveConfig() after setting something, else it won't work.

EDIT
Also, put

Code:java

getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);

in the onEnable method! (Main class)

 

Unica

Thanks again, you are really helpful!!!

 

JeykoExample

No problem
Just Tahg me when u need help!

 

Unica

I need help again... I got this...

PHP:

        this.getConfig().addDefault("meeting.players", new String[] {
            "JeykoPlays",
            "YanikPvP",
            "Yanik2301",
            "DaviGamezPvP",
            "Nikislolxd",
        });
   


and what do i have to type in to remove a Playername from the List and what do i have to type in when i want to add a player to the list?

 

JeykoExample
I would work with StringLists

Code:java

private void saveToList(String path_to_list, Object what_to_add){
List<String> list = getConfig().getStringList(path_to_list);
list.add(what_to_add);
getConfig.set(path_to_list, list);
saveConfig();
}

With the method above, u can use

Code:java

saveToList("meeting.players", "a Name");

For removing, simply,

Code:java

private void removeFromList(String path_to_list, Object what_to_remove){
List<String> list = getConfig().getStringList(path_to_list);
if(list.contains(what_to_remove){
list.remove(what_to_remove);
}
getConfig().set(path_to_list), list); //re set the list ;)
saveConfig();
}

Now if you want to remove "Jack" from the list, u can use

Code:java

removeFromList("meeting.players", "Jack");

I don't know how this works with the private void method thingy can u do it without? so in the 3rd path_to_list ?

wow im dumb Unica now i know how it works THANKS!!!!
