Can't get a String with getConfig().getString()

I tried to put a name in main.getConfig().getString() in an ItemMeta
sorry for my english I'm french

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
       
        Inventory inv = event.getInventory();
        Player player = (Player) event.getWhoClicked();
        ItemStack current = event.getCurrentItem();
        ItemStack rank = new ItemStack(Material.PAPER);
        ItemStack next = new ItemStack(Material.STICK);
       
        ItemMeta ranks = rank.getItemMeta();
        ranks.setDisplayName(main.getConfig().getString("ranks.name1"));
        rank.setItemMeta(ranks);
       
       
        if(current == null) return;
       
        if(inv.contains(current)) {
           
            if(current.getType() == Material.PAPER && current.hasItemMeta()) {
               
                inv.clear();
                event.setCancelled(true);
                                       
                int all = main.getConfig().getInt("ranks.nbr"); 
                        for(int i = 0; i < all; i++){
                            List<String> lore = main.getConfig().getStringList("ranks.name" + i + "." + name);
                            String name = main.getConfig().getString("ranks.name" + i);
                            System.out.println(name);
                            ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.BLAZE_ROD, 1, (byte) 3);
                            ItemMeta meta = skull.getItemMeta();
                            meta.setDisplayName(name);
                            //meta.setLore(lore);
                            skull.setItemMeta(meta);
                            inv.setItem(i, skull);
                    }
               
            }
       
    }
}

 

Code:

//This is what your config would have to be for your code to work
ranks:
  nbr: 1
  name0: ply

In your config "name0" holds ranktest1, which is not a string, it's a list.

So, to get "ply" from ranktest1 in name0 here's what you should do:

Code:

List<String> list = main.getConfig().getStringList("ranks.name0.ranktest1");
String name = list.get(0);

I would give you the code you need, but then you wouldn't learn anything. Try to read my entire post and at the least TRY to solve it yourself.

 

Agreed. But per SOLID design, you should be instantiating that list as List<String> list which would give you the added benefit of not having to cast your get.

 

Fair enough, it's just a bad habit of mine.
