Specified command

What would be the correct code for, if i was to type /gender <male/female>, and if not equaling these options will result in the command "Gender does not exist." How would i do something like this.

 

Do you know how to make the command?

 

Code:java

if(!(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("male") || args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("female"))){
  //Code
}

 

A better way to do it:

Code:java

if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("male") {
    //Is male
}
else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("female") {
    //Is female
}
else sender.sendMessage("Insert message here"); return true;

I know how to make a command, I meant not for the first arg but for the 2 arg. So when a player types in /gender female/or male. Instead of allowing them to type anything in. I'm using this for putting it in to the config.yml.

 

Code:java

 
if(args.length == 2){
if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("male")){
//Male code
}else if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("female")){
//Female code
}else{
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "That is not a gender!");
}
}
 

That works for if the 2nd arg is male or female

 

No, that's wrong.

If you had a command:
/gender female

gender would be the commandLabel(or whatever you called it, I call it label)
female is args[0]

Args does not include the command

 

And also, args start at zero, not one. For genders to be saved in the config, I would make a string list in the config; one for male, one for female.

 

Or a key for each player, which would be a lot easier to modify/use

 

I know, he asked for the second arg, im confused on what he is asking Lol. I know that args[1] is the 2nd arg and that the commandLabel doesn't count as an arg T_T He said he is asking for the second arg not the first, so i thought he meant /gender something male/female

 

You need to think like you didn't know, because many people think that the command label is included in the args.

 

True true, he confused me Lol.

 

Code:java

if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("male"){
  //Is male
  getConfig().set("genders." + player.getName(), "male");
  return true;
}
else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("female"){
  //Is female
  getConfig().set("genders." + player.getName(), "female");
  return true;
} else {
  sender.sendMessage("No.");
  return true;
}

 

Lol "No."

 

Ok im understanding this a bit more, these examples are not very far from what my looking for.
Thank you all for your help, and time
