Need some help: config

Hello guys
I've got a little problem with following:
I want to make a command : /whatever <name>, and when that command is performed it should save <name> to the config in for example:

Code:

1:
<name>

ok, and the next time that command is performed it should check if the name is already in the config.
but im not able to do that, because of 2 problems: idk how to check if the name is already in the config, and idk how to save the name to the config properly, im always trying it with this:

Code:

Player player1 = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
this.getConfig().set("1", player1);

but then it saves me this:

Code:

1:
  ==: Player
  name: <name>

 

Try using,
Player player = getServer().getPlayer(getName());
getConfig().get("1").equals(player.getName());

 

ok, do u mean following ?
if(getConfig().get("1").equals(player.getName())){
}
and what about the args, ?

 

NoobDev do you want your config to be like this:

Code:

1:
    derpyname:
    derpyname2:

 

davejavu
almost:

Code:

1:
    name1
    name2

(spaces don't matter)

 

NoobDev well then you'll want to do a string list; which is this:

Code:

1:
- name1
- name2

Code:java

 
if (getConfig().contains("1")) {
if (getConfig().getStringList("1").contains(args[0])) {
// do whatever
return true;
} else {
List<String> ls = getConfig().getStringList("1");
ls.add(args[0]);
getConfig().set("1", ls);
//Do whatever else.
return true;
}
} else {
List<String> s = new ArrayList<String>();
s.add(args[0]);
getConfig().set("1", s);
return true;
}

here it is, its a warn plugin:

Code:

        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("warn")){
            if (args.length == 1){
                if(sender.hasPermission("kwarn.warn")){
                    Player targetwarn = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                    if (targetwarn == null) {
                        sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "This player is not online!");
                        return true;
                    }
                    else {
                        if (getConfig().contains("1w")) {
                            if (getConfig().getStringList("1w").contains(args[0])) {
                            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + args[0] + "was already warned one time!");
                            return true;
                            } else {
                            List<String> ls = getConfig().getStringList("1w");
                            ls.add(args[0]);
                            getConfig().set("1w", ls);
                            //Do whatever else.
                            return true;
                            }
                            } else {
                            List<String> s = new ArrayList<String>();
                            s.add(args[0]);
                            getConfig().set("1w", s);
                            return true;
                            }
                    this.saveConfig();
                    targetwarn.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You have been warned by an Admin!");
                    return true;
                    }
                }
                else {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You don't have permission!");
                    return true;
                }
            }
            else {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You just can warn one player / must specify a player!");
                return false;
            }
        }

 

I mean at the very top of your file (after package ...; )
Something like this:

Code:java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.LinkedHashSet;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;
 
import org.bukkit.block.Block;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

 

Courier

Code:

import java.awt.List;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Kwarns extends JavaPlugin {
    public void onEnable(){
        getLogger().info("KWarns enabled!");
        FileConfiguration cfg = this.getConfig();
        cfg.options().copyDefaults(true);
        this.saveConfig();
    }
 
    public void onDisable(){
        getLogger().info("KWarns disabled!");
        this.saveConfig();
    }

 

That's your problem. Replace it with:

Code:java

import java.util.List;
