Hey im new at Config and i got a problom

i wanna do a config
with
join:

and after the join:
will be a message
and this message gonna send to a player when he is joined
so i dont know how to check the String or how to write the String for the Message after the join:

but... ik to do thats

 

If I recall correctly, setJoinMessage() will set the message that is sent to the whole server, it sounds like you want to send a message to just the player, which would be player.sendMessage()

For the configuration, I suggest you take a look here.

If your configuration file looks like this,

Code:

message:
  join: hello

You would use the following line of code to get the string for 'join'

Code:java

this.getConfig().getString("message.join");

The message.join part can be replaced with the location of the string that you want to get from the config.

 

What Rmarmorstein said works, but here is a simpler way:
Config code:

Code:

join: Welcome back, text here

Java code:

Code:java

String welcomeMessage = this.getConfig().getString("join");
 

Then set the welcome message as welcomeMessage.

 

That's more work.

 

How?

For just one time you would use:

Code:java

player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("path.to.string"));

But if you want to access it many times, it would be more efficient your way.

Basically that. It's only needed once, so why set a variable?

 

Jake6177 True, but that is assuming you want to use it more than once.
