Solved List and Colors In config

Hello, first, I want to tell you that I'm new to coding bukkit plugins, so lets say I'm a newbie .
I want my plugin to show in chat:
Staff:
Member 1 - Owner
Member 2 - Admin

On my onCommand, I wrote:

Code:java

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender Sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
Player player = (Player) Sender;
if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("staff")){
if(Sender.hasPermission("ecore.staff")){
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Staff:" + getConfig().getList("Staff"));
 
}else{
player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("noperm"));
}
}
        }

My Config says:

Code:

noperm: '&4You Do not have permission to do this.'
 
Staff:
  - 'Member 1- Owner'
  - 'Member 2- Owner'

When i use /staff all I get is:
Staff: Null

How can I make it appear like in the beginning of the post? Also, how can I make my plugin support color codes like &a from the Config? Thanks for the help

Your config stringlist should be formatted like this

Code:

Staff:
- 'Member 1- Owner'
- 'Member 2- Owner'

Also, if you try to send them a List, it's going to return the List object, not a list of strings. Use this instead.

Code:

player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Staff:" + Arrays.asList(getConfig().getStringList("Staff")));

 

The code you gave me for the list is giving me a warning, "Severity and DescriptionPathResourceLocationCreation TimeId
Type safety : A generic array of List<String> is created for a varargs parameter"
Is it supposed to be like that?

Hello, Can someone help please? Is there a way for my plugin to support color codes from the config (i.e. &a)?
Also, when i tried

Code:java

player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Staff:" + Arrays.asList(getConfig().getStringList("Staff")));

It still didn't appear like the format I wanted. I want it to appear in different lines, like when you use /rules in essentials. I'm a new to this, so I don't understand what I can do to fix this

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

 

Bump, still need help please

 

Code:java

for(Object o : getConfig().getList("Staff"))
{
    if(o instanceof String)
    {
        player.sendMessage((String)o);
    }
}

This bit of code will loop through the list of Strings you have in your config, printing them each on a new line.

 

that worked, thanks! Also, do you know how to make color codes like &5 from the config show up correctly in game? When I type the command, the chat says &asomething instead of changing the message color.

 

Yeah, you just need to replace the & with a §

Code:java

for(Object o : getConfig().getList("Staff"))
{
    if(o instanceof String)
    {
        String s = (String)o;
        player.sendMessage(s.replace("&","§"));
    }
}

 

random_username I believe it's ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "string");

 

I didn't even know that existed. Thanks for sharing

 

I have tried applying the code you told me in some other commands, but now I'm getting an error, can you please tell me what have I done wrong? sorry, but i'm new at this.

Code:java
