Call To Function Get() On String?

My error is the following "call to function get() on string"
Code:

PHP:

public function onBreak(BlockBreakEvent $event){
      $p = $event->getPlayer();
      $name = $p->getName();
      
      if($event->getBlock()->GetId() == 1){
          $this->mininglevel = $this->getDataFolder() . "mining.yml";
          $level = $this->mininglevel->get($name); ##LINE THAT CAUSES PROBLEM
          $this->mininglevel->set($name,$level+1);
          $this->mininglevel->Save();
          $name->sendMessage("Mining Skill Is Now Level" . $level);
        }
    }


 

It should be:

PHP:

$this->mininglevel = new Config($this->getDataFolder() . "mining.yml", Config::YAML);

 

But I generated the yml file in my main class

 

Then remove that $this->miningLevel = ... part

 

Did that but now it generates in the home directory of the server

 

This shouldnt override it if it already exists. it is also the only way to get the get() function like how your using it

PHP:

$this->mininglevel = new Config($this->getDataFolder() . "mining.yml", Config::YAML);

 

It's not overriding it, it generates in my home/root directory.

 

How did you create it in the first place?

 

its created with the $this->mininglevel code

 

PHP:

public function onBreak(BlockBreakEvent $event){
      $p = $event->getPlayer();
      $name = $p->getName();
     
      if($event->getBlock()->GetId() == 1){
          $this->mininglevel = new Config($this->getDataFolder() . "mining.yml", Config::YAML);
          $level = $this->mininglevel->get($name); ##LINE THAT CAUSES PROBLEM
          $this->mininglevel->set($name,$level+1);
          $this->mininglevel->Save();
          $name->sendMessage("Mining Skill Is Now Level. $level");
        }
    }

This should work fine

 

yeah but it doesnt generate in the plugins/mcmmo file it generates in the home one

 

Did you do

PHP:

@mkdir($this->getDataFolder());

 

no, do i call it in the main class or mining class

 

I recommend doing it in the onEnable function in your main class.

 

K so I make all the files in my main then just access them in my mining class?

 

Yes, if you have a different class you have to do what you want like this

PHP:

public function onBreak(BlockBreakEvent $event){
      $p = $event->getPlayer();
      $name = $p->getName();
      $plugin = $mainInstance //Make sure you have the instance of your Main class here ;
   
      if($event->getBlock()->GetId() == 1){
          $this->mininglevel = new Config($plugin->getDataFolder() . "mining.yml", Config::YAML);
          $level = $this->mininglevel->get($name); ##LINE THAT CAUSES PROBLEM
          $this->mininglevel->set($name,$level+1);
          $this->mininglevel->Save();
          $p->sendMessage("Mining Skill Is Now Level. $level");
        }
    }

If you need further assistance I suggest you show me all of your files, Im not sure on how your setting this up.

 

I'd recommend just doing:

PHP:

PluginBase::saveResource("mining.yml");
// $plugin is your main class that extends PluginBase 
$plugin->saveResource("mining.yml");


That way it generates your plugins data folder and will actually provide you with a file to open.

 

Where do i put that, i've been messing with code ever since i posted this thread

 

In your onEnable() function inside your Main class.

 

In a class. All you need is a reference to your plugins main instance.
