Solved A Quick Question

if you want to use a if statement to say for example, if (book.getTitle() == "Stats"). If the book has a Title of ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE do i need to use if (bm.getTitle() == ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "Stats"). Or can i just use if (bm.getTitle() == "Stats")

None of the above.
You can't use the '==' opperatoe when comapign strings. Because a string is not a pritave it's an object and because of that you must use..

Code:java

.equals("a string");

And actually answering your question. You can strip all colour codes fomr a string like so.

Code:java

ChatColor.stripColor(...);

Then you can compare the string without having to worry about colour codes.

 

Tzeentchful ok so my end product should be like if(book.getTilte().equals(ChatColor.stripColor(DARK_PURPLE) + "Stats"))?

Almost.
The ChatColor.stripColor(...) method strip the colour from a string so you should have it like this.

Code:java

if(ChatColor.stripColor(book.getTilte()).equals("Stats")) {
