Solved Config.yml and Events.java errors

Ive got my plugin to create a custom login/out message rather then the defult one but when i join the server it gives me a bunch of errors in my console and i have no idea how to fix this.

Here is the error message:

Code:

And if this helps, my Main.java:

Code:

import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin{
    public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    Events events = new Events(this);
    YAML database;
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable(){
        logger.info("[customMessage] is now enabled and ready to use.");
        this.saveDefaultConfig();
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(events, this);
    }
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable(){
        logger.info("[customMessage] is now diabled and is no longer working.");
    }
}

And my Events.java:

Code:

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerQuitEvent;
 
public class Events implements Listener{
   
    public static Main plugin;
   
    public Events(Main instance){
            plugin = instance;
    }
   
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        FileConfiguration config = plugin.getConfig();
        String message = config.getString("onJoin");
        String pName = p.getName();
        e.setJoinMessage(p.getName() + plugin.getConfig().getString(message));
       
        if(!(message.equals(""))){
            message = message.replaceAll("%player%", pName);
            message = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', message);
        }
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerLeave(PlayerQuitEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        FileConfiguration config = plugin.getConfig();
        String message = config.getString("onQuit");
        String pName = p.getName();
        e.setQuitMessage(p.getName() + plugin.getConfig().getString(message));
       
        if(!(message.equals(""))){
            message = message.replaceAll("%player%", pName);
            message = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', message);
        }
 
    }
}

 

if you want to use special characters inside yaml, then place quotes around it

 

I tried to do this in my config.yml but it wont work. how would i do this?

My config.yml if this helps:

Code:

onJoin: "%player%" has joined the server.
onQuit: "%player%" has left the server.

Do i maybe need to change something in my Events.java aswell or not???

 

I think he's talking about ' not "

 

example:

onJoin: '%player% is awesome and joined the server!'

 

Dont use replaceAll, use replace

Edit:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
    Player p = e.getPlayer();
    FileConfiguration config = plugin.getConfig();
    String message = config.getString("onJoin");
    String pName = p.getName();
    if(!(message.equals(""))){
        message = message.replace("%player%", pName);
        message = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', message);
    }
    e.setJoinMessage(p.getName() + plugin.getConfig().getString(message));
}

 

Ok so i did what you and and what Stuntguy3000 and when i join it said gamelord327null in the chat but no error came up in the console. What am i doing wrong here?

 

gamelord327

Code:

plugin.getConfig().getString(message)

I don't think you want to do that... just print the message...

 

just saying why have this

Code:java

e.setJoinMessage(p.getName() + plugin.getConfig().getString(message));

when u can just do

Code:java

e.setJoinMessage(p.getName() + message);

 

Thank you guys so much it now works perfectly!
