AsyncPlayerChatEvent

Hi guys , im trying to get the message from the event like so

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        String rawMessage = event.getMessage();
 
    }

how do i loop through the message and see if it contains a specific string

thanks in advance

Code:

String[] message = rawMessage.split(" ");

 

rawMessage.contains(arg0);
rawMessage.indexOf(str)>0; // might need >=0

theres 2 methods, you might also want to convert to lowercase unless it needs to be case sensitive

 

is it possible to change the color of the string if it matches before the message is send out to chat

 

Code:

e.setMessage(e.getMessage().replace("mystring", "§e"mystring(red)");

 

to change the color add "§" followed by a hexadecimal charactor "0"-"9" and "a"-"f" for the color
"§" is typed by holding alt and typing "0167" on the numpad
example "§f" = white "§e" = yellow

oh, if you want to send colored text to the console use getServer().getConsoleSender().sendMessage(string);

§ = alt+2+1 as well

 

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        String rawMessage = event.getMessage();
        String[] message = rawMessage.split(" ");
        for(int i = 0; i < message.length; i++){
            String txt = message[i];
            if (txt.startsWith("@")){
                Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Working");
                
            }
        }
    }

this what i have atm and its not working

 

add the following line after you get rawMessage
Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Testing "+rawMessage);
that will tell us if its getting that far

 

nvm , i forgot to register the event but this new part isnt working now

Code:java

            if (txt.startsWith("@")){
                txt.replace('@', ' ');
                Player player = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(txt);
                if (player != null){
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Working");
                }
            }

 

player names dont start with a space so your code will be trying to get a player called " Ewe_Loon" if you type "@Ewe_Loon"
txt.replace('@', ''); might work (i removed the space)

 

invalid character constant.
Im testing out txt.replace("@", ''); using string instead of character


EDIT : Both of them do not replace the '@'
EDIT 2 : Got it to work using this

Code:

if (txt.startsWith("@")){
                txt.replace('@', ' ');
                String[] pName = txt.split("@");
                Player player = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(pName[1]);
                if (player != null){
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Working");
                }
            }

Not sure if this is a safe way though

All i need to do now , is set that argument which has '@' in front of it to a different color, and i have no clue how to do that

to remove the first char off a String called "txt" use txt.substring(1);

Code:

if (txt.startsWith("@")){               
                String pName = txt.substring(1);
                Player player = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(pName);
                if (player != null){
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Working");
                }
            }

 

..... oh , lol i ended up making another string of arrays somehow it works

Code:

String[] pName = txt.split("@");
                    try {
                        final Player player = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayerExact(pName[1]);

whats the difference?
