Color Codes Help

How do you do translate color codes in the config.yml ?

 

String colored = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', config.getString("path")).

 

okay, does "path" need to be anything specific ?

 

The path you want to use like:
key1:
key2:
key3:
key4:

So the path is usually key1.key2.

 

ok thanks !

 

No problem

 

chasechocolate mattrick16 I guess I'll just ask this question here.

I've noticed that I can't add color support, because when ever I save the config with a wierd characted (such as &), it throws and error, saying "invalid character".

Any way around this?

 

JPG2000 Well when I added a & to my config it deleted it so I added ' so basically:
Key1: '&7HEY'

 

Gater12 I don't get it. So just tell the person using the file to add 'path here', and then when ever I look for a string I add '' around it?

 

JPG2000 Your question confuses me . I'm trying to say like when I have something to from the config that is a string and translate the color code I add a '. So what I'm saying that when you leave a string you do:
String: MEHRANDOMSTRING
But when I put a & it deleted it and who knows what the console said so I put a '
String: '&7MEHRANDOMSTRONG'
And it worked and probably there's better explanation but that's what I see.

 

Gater12 Okay! I'll try it!

 

Here, it took me a while to get this, here's my code, and look SPECIFICALLY at Line 39. And yes, he's correct, you also need to add 'MSG', as you see here, it didn't work for color codes because I didn't add ' '
