Checking a linked list.

I have 2 linked lists. One for the red team and one for the blue team. When I check to see if a player is in the list, nothing happens. I am using the following.

Code:

if (MCFTF2.blue.contains(player)) {

For teams should I use the new scoreboard API to manage them?

Using Player object ? That might be the cause, switch to String and use player's name instead.

However, player might really not be in the list... debug, print the contents of the list and stuff like that, trace your code back....

 

Would teams be better if i used the new scoreboard API?

 

It'd be harder for you to use them, if that counts.

 

I am converting right now. The api looks pretty easy so far. And do I have to use a scoreboard with it or can I just use the team part of it?
