Cannot Teleport a Player to coordinates set in a config file [Bukkit]

Question

So I am basicly making a Warping system but I am using it for a minigame. I want the owners of the server to be able to set the warp for the different players to spawn in when the minigame starts. For some reason, I am getting a error which is saying that I cannot teleport the player, here is my code for the teleporting part:

    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("cakestart")){

            if(getConfig().contains("locations." + args[0])){
                int locationsX = this.getConfig().getInt("locations" + args[0] + ".X");
                int locationsY = this.getConfig().getInt("locations" + args[0] + ".Y");
                int locationsZ = this.getConfig().getInt("locations" + args[0] + ".Z");
                int locationsYaw = this.getConfig().getInt("locations" + args[0] + ".Yaw");
                int locationsPitch = this.getConfig().getInt("locations" + args[0] + ".Pitch");
                Object locationsworld = this.getConfig().get("locations" + args[0] + ".World");

                Location cakestart = new Location((World) locationsworld, locationsX, locationsY, locationsZ, locationsYaw, locationsPitch);

                p.teleport(cakestart);
                p.sendMessage("TPED!");
            }

        }

The error is happening with:

        p.teleport(cakestart);

I can give any more info you need.

What is the StackTrace? (What shows up in console) – Jojodmo Feb 22 '14 at 16:39 — Jojodmo, Feb 22 '14 at 16:39

I would suggest that instead of

Object locationsworld = this.getConfig().get("locations" + args[0] + ".World");
Location cakestart = new Location((World) locationsworld, locationsX, locationsY, locationsZ, locationsYaw, locationsPitch);

You instead define locationsworld as a string, and then fetch the actual world from the server using it's unique case-sensitive name. Assuming you're in your main class that extends JavaPlugin, it would look like this:

String locationsworld = this.getConfig().get("locations" + args[0] + ".World");
World tworld = this.getServer().getWorld(locationsworld);
Location cakestart = new Location(tworld, locationsX, locationsY, locationsZ, locationsYaw, locationsPitch);

That way you don't have an invalid world. There's a lot more info in the world class that just a name, and unless you're saving all of it instead of just the World.getName();, you're not going to have much success with a typecast.

EDIT: Afterthought: You would also probably do well to use doubles instead of integers for the other values, especially pitch and yaw.

It is possible that the Object cannot be cast to the World object. I would try saving the world as a string and parsing it to a world object using Bukkit.getWorld("string");.

To get a World from the config all you have to do is this:

Bukkit.getWorld(getConfig().getString("path of the world in the config");

You're missing a `)` there. – hintss Mar 08 '16 at 07:28
