Solved Config Help

Hi guis! I have a problem:
i have this syntax: player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.BLINDNESS, 500, 1));
I want to make the effect configurable with a config.yml file...what syntax should i use? i tried with getConfig().getString("<effectname>") but it doesn;t work....
Please help me

 

SpiderLink add a section named "effectname: BLINDNESS" in your config then do "player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.getByName(getConfig().getString("effectname"), 500, 1));"

 

Thank that worked!

I have another problem.....i want to make the cooldowns configurable...what syntax should i use inside the: Thread.sleep(<here>);
?

SpiderLink you should setup a ArrayList<String> for the player names and add his name if he has drunken a potion then you start a scheduler with a specific amount of time, which will remove the player from the list

 

DarkBladee12 i did that...what i was asking was : How can i make that time configurable via a config.yml file (the duration of the cooldown).

To make myself more clear this is the code section for the timer :
public class CountDown implements Runnable{
public Player player1 = null;
public List<Player> cooldown1 = new ArrayList<Player>();
public void setPlayer(Player player){
this.player1 = player;

}
public void setList(List<Player> list){
cooldown1 = list;
}
public List<Player> getList(){
returncooldown1;
}
public void run(){
try{
Thread.sleep(10000);
cooldown1.remove(player1);
}catch(Exception ignored){

}

}
}
