Plugin1 can check or alter the balance of a player directly if it also using SQlite or by calling the global functions within economy plugin if economy.lua is required, as long as it was implemented to do so. SQlite is more efficient and less messy then flatfile ini reading. In fact I insist you use it with your Area plugin, as flatfile reading for each area is very inefficient. SQLite is the best you can do without going to a full blown database.
That's what I want to prevent that each plugin which eventually wants to get or alter a players balance needs to know something about how this is stored somewhere.
Additionally there might be other checks or things to be done when accessing the balance of a player.
Therefor Plugin1 should only need to call the global "EconomyGetBalance(Player)" which is provided by the economy.lua plugin.
But that is currently not possible with MCServer because it uses own stacks for each plugin!
