How to add Player names to the Config file

how do i add player names to a config file/or does a
ArrayList<String> last through the disable?

 

Using a normal config set method

 

it completly depends on what config system you will be using. If your going to use the built in config then ill help you with the whole system. If you are using something else then I wont be able to help.

Code:

public List<String> playername = new Arraylist<String>();

 

What else would they use?

 

Code:

public void onEnable(){
playername = plugin.getConfig().getStringList("playername");
}
public void onDisable(){
    getConfig().set("playername", playername);
  saveConfig();

Code:

public class config
{
  public pname plugin;
 
  public config(pname plugin)
  {
    this.plugin = plugin;
  }
  public void setupConfig() {
    File config = new File(this.plugin.getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
    if (!config.exists()) {
      plugin.getConfig().options().header("pname");
      plugin.getConfig().addDefault("playername", pname.playername);
plugin.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
      plugin.saveConfig();
    }
  }
}

 

That is basically the same way, just in a different class

 

ah ok. not sure what you meant by "normal config set method". With the amount of time ive been on bukkit ive seen quite a few different config setups.

 

The easiest way of course is to just put saveDefaultConfig() in your onEnable and put a default one in your jar
