Comments

I ran into the same issue and couldn't find any way to set the variable so that the file not found message would go away. I used a variable for the filename (in the example above and my use case). Details are in Issue-11 on Github. In short, I got the logic to read/write working be editing the code to explicitly set myFile variable in java: File myFile = new File("serverconfig.json");

Once I had that done first, then everything worked fine after that. I tried using a global variable to set the value but there wasn't any option in File Manager to use an element that allows setting of a variable's value.

Hi Goldorion - thank you very much for creating this long desired plugin!!! I have several use cases that I want to use this for and at looks like we're on track to getting there soon. Nice work.

Hello. In the example you can see how to write to a file and then read from it. I don't understand how to only read vfrom it. Where do I say to the code where to look for the file to read?

I have 2 issues, I can't edit any boolean subgson's since they keep being overwritten and I can't access them outside the main prodecure since its a Local Variable and whenever I try to use a Public one it just gives me errors, Like I want to access the data if the value is true or false in another procedure but I can't since it's a local one. I followed your picture guide for gson

can you plz post an example of how to only read from a file. thank you.

I was wondering if you could take a look at what I wrote on this page: https://mcreator.net/forum/64639/file-creator-plugin?page=3%2C0

Is there a way to create a folder through the procedures in this plugin or do I have to make a custom code element?

I figured it out, thank you. Although I am wondering if it is possible to create a "get world save folder" function. I have been looking into it but I can't find anything on 1.16.x or even 1.15.x just outdated snippets of code that no longer work.

Is there version for 2020.5? I searched for it on GitHub but found nothing :/ and it would be cool to have it on version supporting 1.14.4 and being (in my feel) more stable than 2021.1.
