Use $server->unloadLevel().

I tried too i get error file_put_contents

PHP:

if($level instanceof Level){
$this->getServer()->unloadLevel($level->getName());
}

You should pass $level not $level->getName()

Ok. But I thought loadLeve($name) $name is a string?

PHP:

loadLevel($name)


Needs $name because until you actually load the level you do not have any level object. Once loaded, you should just use the level object.

Check the method declaration. It is unloadLevel($level).

Neat!

Mind using the edit button.

Sorry. It was my internet lagging...

I also have this problem, getName() on null...

Seems that when we unload a level, try to load again, and enter again on this world without stopping this server (in my case), the level becomes null for pocketmine, and the server crashes... It's prety sure a PM bug, because there's absolutelly no problem with my level, it's a PM generated level, and I'm using ManyWorlds as API for unloading/loading worlds due to their stabillity... Well Let's wait to see if this will still happening on PM 1.6, there's anything that we can do :/...

Why? PocketMine itself has API methods on loading levels!
Also, do NOT hold the level instance after the level is unloaded.

I know that pocketmine have API methods for that, but when I tryed that:

PHP:

$level=$this->getServer()->getLevelByName(Main::GAME_LEVEL_1);
if(!$this->getServer()->isLevelLoaded($level){
   $this->getServer()->loadLevel($level);
}

and many variants of this code, i got an "getChunk() on null" crash, with ManyWords i won't have this problem, but i get this "getName() on null" instead, but i can't figure out what is the difference between ManyWorlds code and my code, so I use MW as API.

Also, i cut off all instances of this level object before unloading the world, and also, This crash won't happens on unloading/loading process, but when player's try to join this world (already loaded) again, so that's not a instance problem...

getLevelByName only works when the level is already loaded.
isLevelLoaded and loadLevel both accept strings as parameters.

Well, you're right... Taking a look on my old ugly code I found the problem, the isLoaded check I'm doing on the right way, using the level name
directly (trough a constant), but, on the load part, i'm trying to get the name of the level object (that at this point are null), instead of giving a string to the loadLevel.... #facepalm

but, looking at the console, everything happens just fine, the unload, and reload part runs without any problem or instant crash, and the console show me "Preparing level Blah" but in theory the world still unloaded due to my mistake, and when a player join the world, the server crashes...

PHP:

public function loadUnload($name){
  if(!$this->getServer()->isLevelLoaded($name)) {
    $this->getServer()->loadLevel($name);
    return;
  }else if($this->getServer()->getLevelByName($name) !== null && $this->getServer()->isLevelLoaded($name)) {
    $this->getServer()->unloadLevel($this->getServer()->getLevelByName($name));
  }
}

this simply code seems to solve that issue, I haven't tested yet but, calling that using $this->loadUnload("Blah") one time will unload the world called "Blah", and calling again will reload that world...

if getLevelByName doesn't return null, it means that the level is already loaded.
Also, it is inefficient to use search functions like getLevelByName multiple times.
