Solved Code not being reached

Code:

List<String> bad = survive.getConfig().getStringList("messages.alert");
                    for (int i = 0; i < bad.size(); i++){
                        survive.getServer().broadcastMessage(bad.get(i));
                        if (message.toString().toUpperCase().contains(bad.get(i).toUpperCase())){
                            for (Player staff : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
                               if( staff.hasPermission("survive.messages")){
                                    staff.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "[Filtered] (" +ChatColor.GREEN + player.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.RED + " -> " +ChatColor.GREEN +target.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.RED + "} " + message.toString());
                                }
                            }
                            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + " -> " + target.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.GRAY + " " + message.toString());
                            target.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "<- " + player.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.GRAY + " " + message.toString());
                            survive.getManager().recentlyMessaged.put(target, player);
                        }else{
                            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + " -> " + target.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.GRAY + " " + message.toString());
                            target.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "<- " + player.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.GRAY + " " + message.toString());
                            survive.getManager().recentlyMessaged.put(target, player);
                        }
                    }

When I message a online player and everything, None of my code works, but when I message an offline player my code returns the player not found message

 

It looks like it's time to debug your code.
Put System.out.println("bad is " + bad); right after you initialise bad.

Also put System.out.println("player is " + player) and System.out.println("target is " + target) right before sending the messages and share your results (or solve it yourself if you know what to do then).

 

@knokko On it
bad is [] Those are my results

And I fixed it!
