Solved Quick Question !IMPORTANT!

So I'm writing a plugin and I am utilizing the config.yml to store players' names. What I want to know is if I can skip a level? Heres an example config:

Code:

players:
  uncool:
    justinbieber911: {}
  cool:
    robertdowneyjr305: {}

So there is a created section for justinbieber911 under "uncool" (lol) and one for robertdowneyjr305 under "cool". Well say I didn't know that - is this code possible?

Code:

if(plugin.getConfig().contains("players.*.robertdowneyjr305")){
  //do whatever
}else{
  //do whatever
}

So i use an asterisks to skip the middle level (cool and uncool) and just try to find where robertdowneyjr305 is. Is this at all possible or am I thinking too hard?

Thanks in advance answer soon!

You could just check if getConfig().contains(<insert whatever name here>)

 

Or is there a way to get the level above a player? Could I see if they are cool or uncool without knowing first?

I think it would be better then to structure your config differnt.
Example:

Code:

players:
  player1:
    status: cool
  player2:
    status: uncool

This way you can check the status of a player like this:

Code:

if(getConfig().getString("players." + playerName + ".status").equals("cool"))
{
  // do cool stuff
}
else
{
  // do uncool stuff
}

 

I think i figured it out - thanks everyone
