Reading through config and getting sub keys?

So I'm working on the team aspect of my plugin and for some reason this doesn't work. First I have the loop search for all the team names, then the player names in the sub-key list of the team name.

This is what a config entry looks like:
Teams:
TeamName1:
Players:
- Player1
- Player2
- Player3

My problem is, is that it won't for whatever reason, find the players in the sub keys and add them to the team. Here is my code:

Code:java

ConfigurationSection teamNames = teamConfig.getConfigurationSection("Teams");
for(String key : teamNames.getKeys(false)) {
TeamManager.registerTeam(key);
 
for(String playerName : teamConfig.getStringList(key + ".Players")) {
Player player = Bukkit.getPlayerExact(playerName);
Team.addPlayer(player, Team.getTeam(key));
}
}
}

You're looking for values in the wrong place: `teamNames.getKeys(false)` vs `teamConfig.getStringList(key + ".Players")`

 

SpaceManiac ... I can't believe I didn't see that earlier. I've spent hours being frustrated to hell. Thanks alot. xD

 

SpaceManiac I seem to have another problem. It now reads through the config fine, but I get a npe on ChatColor.valueof. But the wierd thing is, is that it still changes the player's chatcolor color.
Here is the code

Code:java

public void registerTeams() {
ConfigurationSection teamNames = teamConfig.getConfigurationSection("Teams");
for(String key : teamNames.getKeys(true)) {
String color = teamNames.getString(key + ".Color");
ChatColor displayColor = ChatColor.valueOf(color);
TeamManager.registerTeam(key, displayColor);
 
 
for(String playerName : teamNames.getStringList(key + ".Players")) {
Player player = Bukkit.getPlayerExact(playerName);
if(player != null) {
Team.addPlayer(player, Team.getTeam(key));
}
}
}
}

Here's the stacktrace:

Use ChatColor#translateAlternateColorChar

 

AronTheGamer Hmm, this is super strange. I still get a npe using ChatColor.translateAlternateColorChar, but it still changes the player's chatcolor.

The updated code:

Code:java

public void registerTeams() {
        ConfigurationSection teamNames = teamConfig.getConfigurationSection("Teams");
        for(String key : teamNames.getKeys(true)) {
            String color = teamNames.getString(key + ".Color");
            String displayColor = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', color);
            TeamManager.registerTeam(key, displayColor);
 
            for(String playerName : teamNames.getStringList(key + ".Players")) {
                Player player = Bukkit.getPlayerExact(playerName);
                if(player != null) {
                    Team.addPlayer(player, Team.getTeam(key));
                }
            }           
        }
    }

 

Replace getKeys(true) with getKeys(false) - getKeys(true) will return a list like ["TeamName1", "TeamName1.Color", "TeamName1.Players"] while getKeys(false) will just return the list of team names (take a look at the javadoc for getKeys for more detail).

The use of translateAlternateColorCodes or ChatColor.valueOf is a matter of preference and how you want your config to be formatted.

 

SpaceManiac yes! that works! Also... (Sorry for all these problems.) It isn't reading through the config correctly. For example:
Here is the config:
Teams:
team1:
Players:
- player1
Color: '&a'
team2:
Players:
- player2
Color: '&e'

It registers team2 but adds player2 to team1 instead of team2. I'm sorry but problems keep ocurring whenever I figure something out! haha.

Bump

anyone?
