[New API]Creating Configs?

I recently set up a plugin for Pocketmine 1.4beta and I want to be able to save user data in a file and read and update that data while that are playing. I am new to this API and only recently learned the Old one, so if I ask dumb questions that is why. I have been using this:

Code:

new Config("saves.yml", Config::YAML, $playerName = [
             $money = 1500,
         ]);

and

Code:

new Config("saves.yml", Config::YAML, $playerName = [
             $money = 1500,
         ], true);

I have tried too many things to list and I have read the docs, but nothing is working. I have used this to include the config file:

Code:

use pocketmine\utils\Config;

I assume it is like importing in java : import java.util.Config;

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
wviper3

What error does it give?

did you put it in a veriable ?

use this one $this->config = new Config($this->getDataFolder()."config.yml", Config::YAML, array(
$money = 1500
));

and if you want change some stuff in it do $this->config->set("something", "or another"); this well be in the config like something: or another and if you want want get what is "something" do $this->config->set("something); and it well return "or another" hopefully that helpped

Does it work like this?

Code:

$this->config->set($varToSet, $newValue);

Also, thank you for the config code. I want to have users data saved, so how can I call the array and use it? I have seen people do it like this for commands in the old API:

Code:

args[0] as $money

Or something like that.
Thanks

if you want the players data saved do like
$this->config->set($args[0], $args[1]); where $args[0] is the player's name and args[1] is the amount of money

If you did it you way, you would make a new saves.yml every time that bit of code is called. You should probably do something like:

PHP:

public function onEnable(){
 @mkdir($this->getDataFolder());
 $this->configFile = new Config($this->getDataFolder()."saves.yml", Config::YAML, array());
}


Then to set their money:

PHP:

$this->configFile->set($sender->getName(), $sender->getMoney());
$this->configFile->save();


I hope that helped.

Thanks! This will all work great. I do not understand the set method, but I will look at the docs now that I know how to use it. You all helped a lot! Thanks again!

use @Dutok code because i forgot that it well generate a folder every time the server start if you need help just ask me(or anyone else)

if you need help with your plugin make a github account and post it there and i well come and help you

Not everyone wants to use $args[0]. Stop giving irrelevant variable names.

It doesn't matter. It still writes the file, just that it is garbaged instantly.

Don't use the default include path. It will generate files at the root directory, which is improper for a plugin.

How Do I access the array in the config? This is what I have:

Code:

$this->saves = new Config($this->getDataFolder()."saves.yml", Config::YAML, $this->saves->players = array(
            "wviper3" => array(
                    "money" => 1500,
                    "space" => 0
            )
         ));

$this->saves->set($this->saves->players[0][1], $this->saves->players[0][1] + $rand01 + $rand02);
$this->saves->save();

Something like this:

PHP:

$this->saves->get("wviper3");


or

PHP:

$this->saves->getAll("wviper3");


I don't actually know if this would work because I'm too lazy to look it up. Instead, why don't you look it up yourself?

GetAll will return the whole array inputted.

Also, why did you define $this->saves->players?

He's doing his config file in a very backward and confusing way. He should do it the way I posted earlier.

Which way?
