Help with String Lists and kits

Hi guys! I am currently trying to make a plugin where is you type in /sm kit <kit name> it will give you certain items. I want to be able to edit these items in a config file. My config file used to be like this:

Code:

kits:
  archer:
    rank: default
    item1: 261 1
    item2: 262 64
etc.

Now, I want to use string lists so I want it to be like this:

Code:

kits:
  archer:
  - 261 1
  - 262 64
  - etc.
  archerrank: default

My code for the default rank kits is:

Code:java

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("sm")) {
            int length = args.length;
            if (length == 2) {
                if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("kit")) {
                    if (args[1].equalsIgnoreCase(args[1])) {
                        if (getConfig().getString("kits." + args[1] + "rank").equalsIgnoreCase("default")) {
                            Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender(), "clear -a " + player.getName());   
                            Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender(), "give " + player.getName() + " " + getConfig().getString("kits." + args[1]));
                            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "You have chosen the " + ChatColor.GREEN + args[1] + ChatColor.YELLOW + " kit!");
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

Now, I am nooby and there fore do not know what to do with string lists because this is my first time using them. Could someone please tell me how to give players each of the items on a string list?

Loop through the String lists.
Example:

Code:java

for(String s : getConfig().getStringList("path.to.here")){
    /* Insert functions here */
}

 

Gater12 Oh so after that, I would put the /give <playername> s command to give the player all the items in the string?

 

BillyBobJoe168
I'm sorry? Do you know the basics of Java and the Bukkit API?

 

Gater12 from what I can see, he probably copy/pasted some code from some tutorial. He is trying to use a /give command for some reason...

 

Gater12 I'm sorry? did you not read the 2nd to last line of my first post?

Monkey_Swag No I did not copy paste any code for any of my plugins. I always write my own code from scratch.

Please look into ItemStacks
http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemStack.html
You may also look into for loops and enhanced for loops.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/for.html

Additionally, you may also look into the documentation for the Player object.

 

Um actually if I put

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender(), "give " + player.getName() + " " + s);

inside a for loop it works...not sure why you decided to ask if I new the basics of Java and the Bukkit API...

 

BillyBobJoe168
May I ask why you're dispatching a command instead of simply adding it to the player's inventory?

 

The Gaming Grunts Not sure how. I'm trying to figure that out. That is just temporary. My config file is like this:

Code:

kits:
  archer:
  - 261 1
  - 262 64
  - 298 1
  - 299 1
  - 300 1
  - 301 1
  archerrank: default

the player.getInventory().addItem() thing isn't really working for me because I get a string list but this requires and Integer. Do you know how I could do this?

Is there a way to use splits to separate the item and the amount and then do the player.getInventory().addItem(first half of the split, second half of the split)? Never used splits before but I'm thinking there should be a way to separate them with commas and then be able to get both halves separately right?
