Solved Getting config from other plugins

How am I able to get a specific variable in the config of another plugin?

 

You don't, unless it's exposed by the other plugin that allows you to get that value.

 

damn

 

Its actually possible but not recommended at all.

Code:

local externalData
function PLUGIN:LoadExternalConfig()
    local configPath = self.Plugin.Manager.ConfigPath
    local fileName = configPath .. "/configfile.json"
    local externalConfig = new(self.Plugin.Config:GetType(), nil)
    externalConfig:Load(fileName)
    externalData = externalConfig
end

 

Thats why I sent you that PM

 

Sheesh, such nonsense for easy stuff...

Code:

        private object GetConfigVarFromPlugin(string pluginName, params string[] configKeyPath)
        {
            foreach (var p in Manager.GetPlugins())
            {
                if (p.Name == pluginName)
                {
                    if (p.HasConfig && p.Config != null)
                        return p.Config.Get(configKeyPath);
                }
            }
            return null;
        }

Example:

Code:

Puts(GetConfigVarFromPlugin("m-GatherRate", "Settings", "ChatName").ToString());

 

already solved though, and not needed anymore.
Still thanks, may be useful another time
