why does YamlConfiguraiton.getLocation() returns null?

[delicate swan]

I save the locaction on stop in the config:

spawners:
  Location{world=CraftWorld{name=spawn},x=-1:
    0049623E7,y=-60:
      0,z=1:
        4479659E7,pitch=0:
          0,yaw=0:
            0}:
              location:
                ==: org.bukkit.Location
                world: spawn
                x: -1.0049623E7
                y: -60.0
                z: 1.4479659E7
                pitch: 0.0
                yaw: 0.0
              amount: 1

but when using config.getLocation("spawners.key.location") it returns null. key is declared in a foreach loop, that loops through all keys in the spawners-category

.key?

oh k

nvm

[delicate swan]

override fun loadAllSpawners() {
        (config.getConfigurationSection("spawners") ?: return).getKeys(false).forEach { key ->
            Bukkit.broadcast(config.getLocation("spawners.$key.location").toString().toComponent())
            Spawner(config.getLocation("spawners.$key.location")!!, config.getInt("spawners.$key.amount"))
        }
    }

kotlin btw

how are you saving that location?

it looks like your key is all messed up

looks like some .toString shenanigans are going on here

[delicate swan]

override fun saveAllSpawners() {
        var saved = 0
        registeredSpawners.forEach { (loc, spawner) ->
            config["spawners.$loc.location"] = spawner.location
            config["spawners.$loc.amount"] = spawner.amount
            saved++
        }
        Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage("Saved $saved spawners!")
        plugin.saveConfig()
    }

registeredSpawners: ```kotlin
val registeredSpawners = mutableMapOf<Location, ISpawner>()

[rapid kraken]

you are trying to stringify a location and use that as a key

but that location contains dots

which creates new sections

[delicate swan]

oh….

[rapid kraken]

also i dont really understand the point of this

from what i can tell loc and spawner.location is the same

[delicate swan]

ye i just needed some unique thing to safe

[rapid kraken]

i would probably just use a list instead

[delicate swan]

I could try that

Thanks for the help

[rapid kraken]

yeah np!
