Solved Config help

Hey,

So basically I'm trying to make something that when a player joins it will add them in a config like this.

Code:

players:
  players-uuid:
    name:
    other-info-i-want:

But I can't figure out how to add stuff to the players:

Anyone have any ideas?

 

config.set("players." + p.getUniqueId().toString() + ".name", whatever);
config.set("players." + p.getUniqueId().toString() + ".whatever", whatever);

http://wiki.bukkit.org/Configuration_API_Reference#HashMaps

 

And to check if they are already in config, do something like check if config.hasConfigurationSection("players."+p.getUniqueId().toString()) is true

 

Yeah, I tried that already, but it didn't work.

here was where I did it:

config.set("players." + p.getUniqueId().toString() + ".name", p.getName());

 

What didn't work about it?

 

It simply didn't work. I opened my config and the section "players:" wasn't even there, but it's in the default config inside of my plugin

 

Um.. did you remember to save the config after that?

 

right... good call.

lemme try that real quick
