Can't get string from custom config

I'm trying to get the players message and if the players message already exists in the custom configuration it will send the player a message that it already exists.

This code here isn't working properly... any ideas? I'v been trying to figure this out for almost 4 hours now.

Code:java

    if(message.equals(guildplayers.get(".Guild", message))) { //not working, not getting the message from the configuration

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
        String message = event.getMessage();
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
 
 
        if(buyingguildplayer.contains(p.getName())) {
            if(!(message.length() > 6)){
                if(message.equals(guildplayers.get(".Guild", message))) {
                      p.sendMessage(ChatColor.BOLD + "Guild already exists!");
                } else {
                guildplayers.set(p.getName() + ".Guild", message);
                buyingguildplayer.set(p.getName(), null);
    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.BOLD + "Your guild has been successfully created!");
    takeZen(p, 10500);
                }
            }else{
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.BOLD + "Guild names can be no longer than 12 characters!");
                }
 
 
                }
 
            }
 
 

 

It's getConfig().getString("Guild"); Also, you shouldn't have the period in front of Guild.

 

Doesn't work

Code:java

if(guildplayers.getString("Guild") != null) {

 

You sure you are making the confit correctly? It should be getguildplayers() if I am not mistaken. Also, null does not mean empty. Null checkes if the section is there. If you tried just setting guild to null you will find that the section guild will not be there anymore XD

 

I will get an error without null. And guildplayers is my custom configuration.

Code:java

 final File Guilds = new File("plugins/PlayerMenu/Guilds.yml");
    final FileConfiguration guildplayers = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(Guilds);

 

Well null doesn't work either..I suggest that right after creating that section, set the string to "empty" or "none" or something like that. Then just check if the string is not "empty" or "none".

 

How would that work.......? lol ><

When the player creates the guild, it will set his name and his string like this:

TestUser:
Guild: GodOfKings

 

Hey can you paste all of your code?

If you would post it on pastebin or any other code paste tool that's be great!
Also give me a paste of your config?

And my config just looks like this:

Code:java

TestUser:
*SPACE*Guild: GodOfKings
