Reading data from datafile?

Ill start with im new to Plugins, and tbh pretty new to C, done visual basic in past, HTML and PHP.

Ive managed to save data to file, now i can get the Key from it but nothing beyond, how would i get to the Display Name, or PlayerLocation ? thanks all

Code:

{
  "chopperDictionary": {
    "76561198126816619": {
      "DisplayName": "[MD] SniperSpool",
      "PlayerLocation": "(257.8, 18.1, 1016.4)"
  }
}

 

When you rea d file from data to your Dictionary, (e.x. myDictionary<ulong, ClassName> - where ulong - key, and ClassName your calss name with DisplayName and PlayerLocation variables. You can use something like:

Code:

void OnPlayerInit(BasePlayer player) {
    Puts(myDictionary[player.userId].DisplayName);
    Puts(myDictionary[player.userId].PlayerLocation);
}

If it is not example, you allways can use:
Vector3 pPosition = player.transform.position; // to get user Location
or
string pName = player.DisplayName; // to get user Name

You don't need any Dictionary.

Also if you use Dictionary don't forget to check, does this Dictionary have value with this key, with method like that:

Code:

void OnPlayerInit(BasePlayer player) {
    if (myDictionary.ContainsKey(player.userId))
    {
        Puts(myDictionary[player.userId].DisplayName);
        Puts(myDictionary[player.userId].PlayerLocation);
     }
     else {
         myDictionary.Add(player.userId, new MyClass());
         Puts($"Added new info about {player.DisplayName});
     }
}

 

Thank you very much been driving me Nuts,

So im now grabbing the data from the DataFile by creating a new list to get keys, is there a better way of doing this ?

Code:

[ChatCommand("read")]
      void cmdTest(BasePlayer player) {           
            List<String> myKeys = cacheDictionary.Keys.ToList();
            foreach (var test in myKeys)
                {
                    Puts(cacheDictionary[test].DisplayName);
                    Puts(cacheDictionary[test].PlayerLocation);
                    SendReply(player, cacheDictionary[test].PlayerLocation);
                }
        }
