Took me a minute...

We are not here to spoonfeed you.. Youtube, Google etc contains tons of tutorials, docs and stuff. Don't be a lazy guy and work for it..

 

What don't you understand on using youtube, google and those links I provided... We don't talk in a baby language and make posts with over 500 words to explain something. Man up and work for it. Use google, youtube, read those docs. Try it.

 

try this:
Arraylist<String> stringlist = new arraylist<String>();

And to set it into the conifg:
config.set(path, stringlist);

To get it:
config.getstringlist(path);

for creating a config:

Eehm, maybe do the path as:
"Players."+ p.getuniculdid + "List";

you might correct it :d i write it on my phone

On the part when you want to save your arraylist to your config

 

It depends on what you're storing, but not usually a good idea to put them in onDisable() or onEnable().

 

That's an array.
a List is saved to config like so:

Code (Text):

ListName:
- player1
- player2
- player3

You can simply use MemorySection#set(String, Object) (object being your List instance) function do do that; Spigot'll take care of the rest.

So, as an example, say we have a List of 3 Strings: 'string1', 'string2' and 'string3':

Code (Java):

List<String> list = Arrays.asList("string1", "string2", "string3");

Now, if we saved this to the config like so:

Code (Java):

config.set("MyList", list);

.. our config would look like this:

Code (Text):

MyList:
- string1
- string2
- string3

Now, we can also add 'paths', and with Yaml, the separator is a dot. Say we want to have a List called 'MyList' located as follows;

Code (Text):

Examples:
  Lists:
    MyList:
    - string1
    - string2
    - string3

Now, there are 2 'sections': 'Examples' and 'Lists' inside the Examples -section. Since the sections are separated by a dot, we can save our list right there as follows:

Code (Java):

config.set("Examples.Lists.MyList", list);

Hope this helps :l

 

You can take a look at the API as a tutorial....
