Getting a player's group through Vault

So, I'm basically trying to setup chat in my plugin, and making it format depending on the player's group. I'm using Vault to get the player's group.
The imports for Vault permissions are all fine, they work as they should do.
I'm just stuck on seeing what group a player is in.
Here's the code:

Code:

public class Chat extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

    public static Economy econ = null;
    public static Permission perms = null;

    public void onEnable() {
        if (!setupEconomy() ) {
            Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage("§cVault needed mate...");
            getServer().getPluginManager().disablePlugin(this);
            return;
        }
        setupPermissions();
        }

    private boolean setupPermissions() {
        RegisteredServiceProvider<Permission> rsp = getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Permission.class);
        perms = rsp.getProvider();
        return perms != null;
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void chatFormat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {

      Player player = event.getPlayer();

      if ((perms.getPrimaryGroup(player) == (perms.getPrimaryGroup(player)))) {
          event.setFormat("§8[Member] §7" + player.getDisplayName() + ":§7 " + event.getMessage());

      } else {
          event.setFormat("§7" + player.getDisplayName() + " §8:" + event.getMessage());
      }
}

I realize that this finds the player's group:

Code:

perms.getPrimaryGroup(player)

But I just get stuck when i'm trying to find if it's equal to another group.
Any solutions out there?

Thanks

if((perms.getPrimaryGroup(player)==(perms.getPrimaryGroup(player))))

???

Let's do some math with this "equality"

Code:

(perms.getPrimaryGroup(player)==(perms.getPrimaryGroup(player)))

You can divide it by (perms.getPrimaryGroup(player)), vecause either side has it, you get

Code:

1 == 1

This means, that this is always true, so you don't need that if statement.

 

@mcdorli I know that... It's just there temporarily until I can find a solution.
Plus, they are exactly the same. Isn't that a bit obvious to point out?

 

@UnpeeledBanana1
If it's that obvious, why have it at all?
Even temporarily?

For any reason?
What reason?

 

@Scimiguy Just personal preference.

I came here for help, not criticism :l

You asked for help about comparing the group and he pointed out that you have a completely pointless comparison concerning the player's group. That's pretty relevant, I would think.
