Solved HashMaps, Configs -_-

Hey, so Basically what Im doing is having 4 different sections in a config, which go like

Code:

Teams:
  oneteam:
    - Player one
    - Player two
  secondteam:
    - Player one
  thirdteam:
    - Player
  fourthteam:
    - Player

And when you spawn, You choose which team you want to go in.
I had originally some code, but scrapped it all after I had no idea what to do, with having problems with putting the Strings in HashMaps into the "oneteam, secondteam" sections.
Basically, What would be some useful code/stuff that can get me started on this kind of project?

With regards-

Fuzzybear04 Whats the problem? You don't know how to let them choose a team or what?

 

Skionz Letting them choose a team, then saving them on that team on disable [Or after selection], Then loading it back up in the onEnable method

 

Fuzzybear04 Just save it to the config http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/doxygen/dd/...nfiguration_1_1file_1_1FileConfiguration.html

 

Skionz would I be using the save & load methods? What would be the most efficient to implement them?

Skionz Wait, instead of using a HashMap, couldn't I use an ArrayList, and in the disable have

Code:java

getConfig().set("ThingHere", list);
 

Then in the enable have

Code:java

List = getConfig().getStringList("ThingHere");

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Fuzzybear04 Why do you need to save it? If your making a minigame why would it continue when the server shuts down?

 

It's not a minigame, it's more of an rpg-ish type plugin.
Think of it similar to the Factions plugin

 

Fuzzybear04 I suggest saving it in a MySQL database then.

 

Okay, thanks for the help Skionz

 

Skionz Didn't use MySQL, solved it myself

Code:java

public void saveTeams(){
        getConfig().set("Members.Blue", Team.blueTeam);
        getConfig().set("Members.Red", Team.redTeam);
        getConfig().set("Members.Yellow", Team.yellowTeam);
        getConfig().set("Members.Green", Team.greenTeam);
        saveConfig();
 
        System.out.println("Saved Teams");
 
        saveConfig();
    }
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public void loadTeams(){
        Team.blueTeam = (ArrayList<String>) getConfig().get("Members.Blue");
        Team.redTeam = (ArrayList<String>) getConfig().get("Members.Red");
        Team.yellowTeam = (ArrayList<String>) getConfig().get("Members.Yellow");
        Team.greenTeam = (ArrayList<String>) getConfig().get("Members.Green");
    }
