Read data from another plugin?

Hi. I try to read a value inside a datafile of another plugin but don't know how to check it. Plugin has code to create data:

Code:

        class StoredData
        {
            public Dictionary<string, ProfileInfo> ProfileDatabase = new Dictionary<string, ProfileInfo>();
        }
   
        class ProfileInfo
        {
            public string UserId;
            public string Name;
            public int Level;            public ProfileInfo() { }            public ProfileInfo(BasePlayer player)
            {
                UserId = player.userID.ToString();
                Name = player.displayName;
                Level = 1;
           
            }
        }
        StoredData storedData;

In my new plugin I try to make a IF condition like this:

Code:

ProfileInfo info = storedData.ProfileDatabase[player.userID.ToString()];if (info.Level == 1) return true;

That works if data is from the same plugin. How can I use same type of code if it's another plugin? I know about
[PluginReference]
Plugin Languages;

I found a line

Code:

object playerData = Profile.Call("GetUserData", player.userID.ToString());

Is it well used? if plugin name is Profile?

but im confused
[DOUBLEPOST=1441256713,1441164804][/DOUBLEPOST]Only thing I find to read data from external plugin is economy which use lua (yay..). I dont know if I can use the same syntax as that LuaFunction and my plugins are all cs.

Code:

        private Dictionary<string, LuaFunction> EconomyApi = new Dictionary<string, LuaFunction>();
        void OnServerInitialized()
        {
            InitializeTable();
            if (!Economics)
            {
                PrintWarning("Economics plugin not found. " + this.Name + "will not function!");
                return;
            }
            var apiFuncs = Economics.Call("GetEconomyAPI") as LuaTable;
            foreach (KeyValuePair<object, object> method in apiFuncs)
            {
                var value = method.Value as LuaFunction;
                if (value != null) EconomyApi.Add(method.Key.ToString(), value);
            }
        }

How do I convert that lua call to csharp? Anyone knows the answer?

 

Ok thanks ill have a look. Do you know one plugins that read an external datafile? I could read and learn from it. I kinda just saw the Plugin.Call functions or that Lua Table from economics :S

 

reading the configs YES
reading the data NO
because most plugins save data only on server save
so if you read data before a server save you will have out dated data in the data file.
[DOUBLEPOST=1441268552][/DOUBLEPOST]that's why it's better to call the plugin and request for the data

 

Call the plugin using call function and using a void that returns a value right?

 

A void does not return anything. It will need to be of the type you want to return. For example string.
