How to do this?

I made a /report command for my server and it works fine, but I want to make it so that every time someone gets reported, if they were previously reported, it would show up as like (2x) (3x) etc at the end of each report. How would I go about doing this?

Code:java

 
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("report")) {
            if (cooldown.contains(sender)) {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED
                        + "You can only report someone every 2 minutes!");
            } else {
                if (args.length < 2) {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED
                            + "/Report <Name> <Message>");
                    return true;
                } else {
                    target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                    if (target != null) {
                        if (sender.hasPermission("report.report")) {
                            if (target != sender) {
                                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN
                                        + "Your report has been sent! Thank you.");
                                for (Player online : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                                    if (online.hasPermission("hr.getmessage")) {
                                        online.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE
                                                + "[Report] "
                                                + ChatColor.YELLOW
                                                + sender2.getName()
                                                + ChatColor.RED
                                                + " has reported "
                                                + ChatColor.YELLOW
                                                + target.getName()
                                                + ChatColor.RED + " for "
                                                + ChatColor.GREEN + message);
                                        getLogger().info(sender2.getName() + " has reported " + target.getName() + " for " + message);
                                        cooldown.add(sender2);
                                       Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable() {
                                           public void run() {
                                                   cooldown.remove(sender2);
                                           }
                                   }, 2400);
                                      //20 TICKS = 1 SECOND SO 20 X (# OF SECOND) = VALUE FOR THIS
 
                                    }
                                }
                            } else {
                                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED
                                        + "You can't report yourself!");
                            }
                        } else {
                            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED
                                    + "You do not have permission to use /report!");
                        }
                    } else {
                        sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW
                                + target.getDisplayName() + " is not online.");
 
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
 

 

@football70500 Just keep a number somewhere of how many times they are reported, and every time they are reported, increase that number by 1.

Try looking into HashMaps you can store the player's name along with the number of times they are reported.
There is a flaw to this because HashMaps don't go through server restarts so you would have to store this data in a file and load it back in when the server starts.

 

Store into a config with the players unique id as the identifier then on config create set the default value which is mostly like zero. Every time the user gets reported add a point

Code:

getConfig().getInt("Warnings", + 1);

This is how I get the user's uniqueID

Code:

    UUID u;
    File UserFile;
    FileConfiguration UserConfig;

    //        UserDataHandler user = new UserDataHandler(player.getUniqueId()); // Make sure that you have the player.getUniqueId()

    public UserDataHandler(UUID u){

        this.u = u;

        UserFile = new File("plugins/CryptLibrary/data/" + u + ".yml");

        UserConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(UserFile);

    }
