[SOLVED] Error On If Statement

Hi, I'm writing a whitelist plugin, it checks if the user is on the list and if it's not on the list it's disallows the request to join with a fake message.
When i (WildN00b) connects, the if statement "fails" and goes to the else.

Heres my code:

Code:

public void onPlayerPreLogin(PlayerPreLoginEvent event) {
        String name = event.getName();

        if (name == "WildN00b") {
            event.allow();
        } else {
            plugin.getServer().broadcastMessage("[PreKick] " + name + " From IP " + event.getAddress().getHostAddress() + " Was Kicked");
            System.out.println("[PreKick] " + name + " From IP " + event.getAddress().getHostAddress() + " Was Kicked");

            event.disallow(Result.KICK_OTHER, "The Server Is Down For Maintenance!");
        }
    }

Can anyone help me?

//WildN00b

 

To do string comparisons in java we have to use the equals method.

Code:

if (name.equals("WildN00b")) {

 

You don't compare strings by "==" in Java.
It would be:

Code:

if (name.equals("WildN00b") {
//rest of your code

EDIT: Ninja'd

 

Hehe
I make this mistake very often after using other languages such as php, actionscript, etc.

 

Tnx
