Solved Is this the correct method?

So to tell if a poll is running or not, when one starts I run this code.

Code:java

 
plugin.getConfig().set("pollrunning", "true");
                                                plugin.saveConfig();
 

This obviously does not work because when a poll is running in-game and when I test for it in this code.

Code:java

 
if(plugin.getConfig().getBoolean("pollrunning") == true)
{
 
}
else
{
 
}
 

it runs the else statement.

 

First things first, you set a string to a string and you try to get a Boolean.
Remove the quotes from true then don't compare boo leans as Boolean == value but use if(Boolean) and if(!boolean)
Lastly why you want it to store it in config and not locally in plugin;

 

@mine-care I never knew you could store it locally in a plugin. Can you tell me how to do that, or send me a link about it.

Also thank you, that worked. I thought that since the string is true, the boolean would register it as true. Whatever, but as you probably know saving the config with saveConfig() deletes #comments... You know a way around that

 

By locally I mean having a Boolean variable to hold the true/false and about comments you can extract the file from class path manually
