The line is Kits.java:36 :

PHP:

p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', plugin.message("Messages", "error", "kit_error_syntax")));

The "plugin.message" method is:

PHP:

public String message(String string, String string2, String string3) {

        return plugin.getMessagesConfig().getString(string + "." + string2 + "." + string3);
    }

MessageConfig is a custom message config..

My messages.yml btw:

Code:

Messages:
  error:
    kit_error_syntax: '&cTo choose a kit do /kit <kitName>'

Thank you in advance.

 

@girardcome Does the file exist in the plugin's folder?

 

Yes

 

plugin.getMessageConfig is returning null, calling .getString on it is causing the exception.

Debug getMessageConfig or show it here.

 

@girardcome
Has your message config been loaded? Perhaps in the getMessageConfig() method? Or in the method that created the file?
