Why does this line of code not activate?

Hi bukkit forums! I have this line of code in a BlockPlaceEvent and it will not fire. I have checked the name and it is indeed STONE_PLATE. Some help, please?

Code:

if (e.getBlock().getType().equals("Pressure Plate") || e.getBlock().getType().equals("Stone Plate") || e.getBlock().getType().equals("STONE_PLATE")){

Thank you in advanced!

 

getType() returns Material and you're trying to compare a String to it... Why?

 

PluginStudios
Material.STONE_PLATE

 

As mentioned above, you're comparing a Material to a string, instead of "STONE_PLATE" use what gaming grunts recommended and use

Code:java

e.getBlock().getType().equals(Material.STONE_PLATE)

 

Thank you all! Now I have another problem. This does not add to the config:
(warpplate is a coordinate string)

Code:

getConfig().addDefault("WarpPlates." + warpplate + ".placement", warpplate)

It does not create that. Why?

 

PluginStudios
getConfig().set("blah", blah);
saveConfig();
