Username Verification/ Test For A Username

Hey guys, I have a problem. I am trying to make it to where only if i right click it does an effect, but it doesn't work if i don't comment out the username. I also would like to know how I could implement a config file to change the person it works for.

Code:java

package com.frozenbattles.ExtraPriv;
 
import org.bukkit.Effect;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class ExtraPriv extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
 
public void onEnable(){
getLogger().info("ExtraPriv Enabled! :)");
getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
}
 
public void onDisable(){
getLogger().info("ExtraPriv Disenabled! :(");
}
 
@EventHandler
public void PlayerInteractEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK || event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR){
Player player = event.getPlayer();
String playerName = player.getPlayerListName();
 
//if(playerName == "WadetheStealth"){
player.getLocation().getWorld().playEffect(player.getLocation().add(0, -1, 0), Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 1);
player.sendMessage(playerName);
//}
}
}
}

 

WadetheStealth It's because you have to use .equals() or .equalsIgnoreCase() for comparing Strings.

For the config part : http://wiki.bukkit.org/Configuration_API_Reference

 

PHP:

/*
example
*/
 
String line = "foo";
 
if(line.equals("foo") {
System.out.println("line equals foo !!!");
}
 


as Totom3 said you cannot compare a string using equal operator, you need to use the built in method .equals()

 

That's one of the five very first things you learn when you learn java.... Seems like you still have to learn java!
Don't try to make bukkit plugins without java knowledge.

 

Try creating a String and set it to the value within getConfig().getString("<String Path>").

From there, create a Player and set it to the value of the clicker using event.getPlayer().getName().

Here is what I use for one of my custom development plugins:

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
 
String player = event.getPlayer().getName();
String allowed = getConfig().getString("Server.emergency");
 
if(!(player.equalsIgnoreCase(allowed))) return;
 
event.getPlayer().openInventory(emergency);
}

He was just saying that you should probably know java before attempting to do bukkit plugins...
