Checking if something in the config exists.

Hey, i am making a plugin so people can do /checkapp, the problem is when they do /checkapp when i have not accepted it there is an error. On a playerjoinevent(I have already made this) i want it to set PLAYERNAME.isAccepted to 'notChecked'. BUT! i do not want it to set anything is the path to the config already exists.

I was thinking something like


if (config.whatever("path to config").exists) {
//set that path to 'notChecked'
}

else {
//do nothing.

}




Thankyou for the help!

 

if ( config.contains("Some.Path.to.Foo.Bar") ) then do nothing(it exists!)
else config.set("Some.Path.to.Foo.Bar", someValue)

 

This is what I'm using in my plugin to check if something is set in the config.yml

Code:java

if (config.isSet(iPath + "Lore")) {
ArrayList<String> lores = new ArrayList<String>();
 
for (String lore : config.getStringList(iPath + "Lore")) {
lores.add(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', lore));
}
 
im.setLore(lores);
}

 

I cant get this to work, is there a firstJoinEvent i can use?

 

Not exactly sure what you mean by FirstJoinEvent, but you can use player.hasPlayedBefore()

 

@Hawktasard
so
if(!event.getPlayer().hasJoinedBefore){
//set config
}



I will try it, thanks!
