Checking if a config contains a player

I'm adding a players name to a config with i'm trying to do is check if the players name is in the config allow them to create a group else message them saying you are already in the group and then display the group name. What i'm doing now is

Code:java

if(!settings.groupConfig().contains(player.getName())) {

and this does not work just allowing them to create multiple groups what i have tried all the ways i could think of and nothing is working this is what my config looks like

Code:

Group Name:
  owner: MCCOding
  name: Group Name
  members: &id001
  - MCCoding

 

Is this in the default bukkit config.yml? Then have you tried this?

Code:java

        if(getConfig().getStringList("group.path").contains(player.getName())) {

Yes it's just the default config.yml here is what i added and it still allowing me to create multiple groups

Code:java

if(!settings.groupConfig().getStringList(".members").contains(player.getName())) {

 

MCCoding What is settings.groupConfig()?

anyway, once you have checked that they are in that list, remove them from that list and add them to a new list.

The method i use to create a group is this

Code:java

    public static List <String> members = new ArrayList <String>();
 
    public static void createGroup(String player, String name) {   
        members.add(player);
        settings.groupConfig().set(name.toLowerCase() + ".owner", player);
        settings.groupConfig().set(name.toLowerCase() + ".name", name);
        settings.groupConfig().set(name.toLowerCase() + ".members", members);
        settings.groupSaveConfig();
    }
 

 

Code:java

public boolean isPlayerInGroup(String player) {
  for(String key : settings.groupConfig.getKeys(false)) {
    List<String> membersInGroup = settings.groupConfig().getStringList(key + ".members");
 
    if(membersInGroup.contains(player)) {
      return true;
    }
  }
 
  return false;
}

This function can be used to terminate if the given player is in a Group. Usage:

Code:java

if(xyz.isPlayerInGroup("geNAZt")) {
  player.sendMessage("You are already in another Group!");
} else {
  //Create a new Group or whatevar
}

Ah okay i see now, thanks for that it seems to work but how would i go about getting the group name the player is in as well?

 

Code:java

public String getPlayerGroup(String player) {
  for(String key : settings.groupConfig.getKeys(false)) {
    List<String> membersInGroup = settings.groupConfig().getStringList(key + ".members");
 
    if(membersInGroup.contains(player)) {
      return settings.groupConfig().get(key + ".name");
    }
  }
 
  return null;
}

Code:java

if(xyz.isPlayerInGroup("geNAZt")) {
  player.sendMessage("You are already in " + xyz.getPlayerGroup("geNAZt"));
} else {
  //Create a new Group or whatevar
}

Thanks it's working! how do i stop the group when you delete it from going like this into a empty string test: {} how do i remove it from the config here is what i have so far

Code:java

 public static void deleteGroup(String player, String name) {
if(settings.groupConfig().getString(name.toLowerCase() + ".owner").equals(player)) {
settings.groupConfig().set(name + ".owner", null);
settings.groupConfig().set(name + ".name", null);
settings.groupConfig().set(name + ".members", null);
settings.groupSaveConfig();
 
} else {
 
Player player1 = plugin.getServer().getPlayer(player);
player1.sendMessage("You are not the leader");
}
}

{} is basically a representation of null.
Instead of doing

Code:

Test: 

which could throw errors, it sets the value of Test: to {}, which does nothing.

Okay, here is new new delete method but when i'm not the owner of the group it does not display the "You are not the leader" message it just gives me a internal server error saying this is null

Code:java

Player player1 = plugin.getServer().getPlayer(player);

Here is the whole method

Code:java

    public static void deleteGroup(String player, String name) {
        if(settings.groupConfig().getString(name + ".owner").equals(player)) {
            settings.groupConfig().set(name, "");
            settings.groupConfig().set(name + ".owner", "");
            settings.groupConfig().set(name + ".name", "");
            settings.groupConfig().set(name + ".members", "");
            settings.groupSaveConfig();
 
        } else {
            Player player1 = plugin.getServer().getPlayer(player);
            player1.sendMessage("You are not the leader");
        }
    }

 

MCCoding Just eliminate that entire line, and use player.sendMessage(message goes here);

Okay it seems to work the only thing is that now if a player is not the leader it won't delete the group it will display the message saying the "MCoding has deleted the group group" but will do nothing how do i stop that?

 

MCCoding
Can i see your new code?

 

AoH_Ruthless
Don't worry i fixed it that part but i still don't understand on how to remove the group name :{} in the config

I'm trying to make it when you search your group and where it displays the players names that are in your group the online players will be green and the offline players will be red i gave it a go and it would give you two strings one with the online players in the group and one with the offline players. if someone could give m e some it would be good pseudo code would be great.
