need help adding a potion effect

I'm trying to add a potion effect when sending a command but when I do it doesn't respond at all

Code:

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Abilityspeed")){
            if(args.length== 0)   
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "Super Speed activated");
                player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED,7200,4));
            if(player.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]) !=null) {
                Player targetplayer = player.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                targetplayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "Super Speed activated");
                targetplayer.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED,7200,4));

I have all the things imported yet when I do the command it won't respond any suggestions?

 

Try adding curly brackets to your if statements. Remembering you don't need them if they only execute the one line of code.

Are you receiving the "Super speed activated!" message?

 

I put brackets around the statement and it didn't work

Code:

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Abilityspeed")){
            if(args.length== 0){
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "Super Speed activated");
                player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED,7200,4));}
            if(player.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]) !=null) {
                Player targetplayer = player.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                targetplayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "Super Speed activated");
                targetplayer.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED,7200,4));}

It continued to not respond to me

 

Did you register the command in the plugin.yml?

 

Yes I did it shows up when I do the help command but when I actually run the command it still does nothing

 

When i'm at home,I give you a SourceCode of my plugin. it works. When you send a command, you recieve an PotionEffect.

 

If your not already using it. Download eclipse IDE it will help with learning java and show you errors and where you can fix them.
