Unclear class creation

how would i go about resolving this error? This is what im getting:

Error while compiling: IslandPatrol.cs(80,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `PluginConfig' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

I believe I just need to define Plugin Config right? What would I need to do?

Well where do you use PluginConfig?

ero•16mo ago

How are you compiling, also?

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

I'm using it in the creation of a config file, the only issue is that the plugin won't load if I don't define the PluginConfig class Oxide compiler for rust

Kouhai•16mo ago

They upload the cs file to a server and it compiles it

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

it compiles C# 4.0 i believe

Kouhai•16mo ago

So you have the PluginConfig defiend but you can't reference it?

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

it's not defined at all which i had just recently noticed but i dont know how to define it i know how to make a class but i'm not sure what i put within the brackets of a class fopr this specific thing

Jimmacle•16mo ago

that would be based on how it's used in the rest of your plugin code like i said in the other channel, seeing actual code would make this easier

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

yeah i was about to gimme a sec

Jimmacle•16mo ago

i find it odd that you have code that uses a class that you haven't written yet

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

I'm reading documentation on how to add a config file but either I didn't see where to write a class or it's not included im really new to C# and development in general

protected override void LoadDefaultConfig()
        {
            // Default configuration values
            LogWarning("Creating a new configuration file");
            Config["NumberOfHelicopters"] = 10;
            Config["NumberOfCH47s"] = 4;
            Config["NumberOfF15s"] = 4;
            Config["PatrolHeliSpawnTime"] = 5.0;
            Config["CH47SpawnDelay"] = 10.0;
            Config["F15SpawnInterval"] = 2.7;
        }

        private void SaveConfig()
        {
            Config.WriteObject(config, true);
        }

        private void Init()
        {
            LoadDefaultConfig();
            LoadConfigValues();

            // Schedule event check
            timer.Every(60, CheckEventStatus);

            // Initialize other variables...
        }

        private PluginConfig config;
        

        private void Init()
        {
            config = Config.ReadObject<PluginConfig>();
        }


        protected override void LoadDefaultConfig()

            return new PluginConfig

            };
        }

Jimmacle•16mo ago

and the documentation doesn't provide you an actual implementation of this class?

Jimmacle•16mo ago

the definition is basically this part where you can see the field names and types that this code expects the class to have

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

i don't think so, i can provide the link to the docs bc i might be overlooking

Jimmacle•16mo ago

so you'd want to define a PluginConfig with those 6 properties and the types in the <> brackets

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

okay, copy + paste but in a new class

Jimmacle•16mo ago

not quite copy and paste

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

elaborate

Jimmacle•16mo ago

you can just infer how the class should look based on how it's used in my screenshot you still have to define the actual fields/properties that code initializes the object by setting those 6 properties, so they need to exist in the class definition

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

okay so i need to define each line but they should be their default values? I dont think im understanding correctly

Jimmacle•16mo ago

it doesn't look like it matters whether you set defaults or not in your class because this code always sets them from whatever Config is

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

okay

Jimmacle•16mo ago

as an example a class with just the first property would look like

public class PluginConfig
{
  public int numberOfHelicopters { get; set; }
}

public class PluginConfig
{
  public int numberOfHelicopters { get; set; }
}

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

alright i'll give this a shot and let you know what happens this is giving me errors

SinFluxx•16mo ago

Don't add those commas in

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

so i dont need any symbols to separate them

SinFluxx•16mo ago

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

oh i dont lol ok thx

SinFluxx•16mo ago

Where are you defining it, I can't see?

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

for (int i = 0; i < numberOfF15s; i++)

for (int i = 0; i < numberOfF15s; i++)

does that not define it or something

SinFluxx•16mo ago

that's not defining it, that's using it

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

it was working perfectly earlier so its confusing oh ok

SinFluxx•16mo ago

int numberOfF15s = 1 would be an example of defining (declaring and initializing) it

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

alr so i should declare this in the void of SpawnF15s, correct

SinFluxx•16mo ago

in the void?

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

the private void whatever its called ok i put it there i'll let the server compile and see what it thinks oh yeah it worked thanks

SinFluxx•16mo ago

Well, private void SpawnF15s is a method signature, then you have {} to go around the method body, so I assume what you mean is you're putting it in the method body

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

yeah lol idk what its called

SinFluxx•16mo ago

depends how much you're looking to do with c#/programming overall but it might be an idea to get to grips with the fundamentals first!

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

yeah i really just started this project today with no knowledge of C# lmao

SinFluxx•16mo ago

Definitely feels a bit like running before you can walk

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

it reads like python tbh it looks similar to me but i only know a bit yeah but it was a fun day especially when it just starts working after so much trial and error

SinFluxx•16mo ago

but do you understand all the reasons why it didn't work, and all the things that then were changed to make it work?

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

yeah i do the way you explained it was helpful

SinFluxx•16mo ago

Fair enough, I think you've just got to be careful you're not pushing through things you don't understand then just getting walked through the parts you get stuck on without fully taking it in

TerraReturnsOP•16mo ago

yea
