Getting a player's PEX prefix.

I need to get a player's group's prefix when hooking into PermissionsEx.

My current code:

Code:

public class AsyncPlayerChat implements Listener{
    @EventHandler
    public void onEvent(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e){
        String prefix = PermissionsEx.getUser(e.getPlayer()).getPrefix();
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage("Your prefix: \"" + prefix + "\"");
    }
}

The prefix for this is always blank. There are no exceptions for me to work with on figuring this out.

How can I do this?

 

Not sure but did you try to use getOwnPrefix()?

EDIT: typo

 

That returns the text "null"

EDIT:

Doing this returns "owner", but the prefix isn't being returned. I'm 100% sure that a prefix is set.

Code:

String prefix = PermissionsEx.getUser(e.getPlayer()).getGroups()[0].getName();

For now I will just use the group name to create a custom prefix.

 

Is a prefix indeed set for the group in the permissions.yml file?

Code:

Member:
  default: false
  prefix: '[Mem]'
  permissions:
    //permissions

and is the member actually in the group?

 

Code:java

String prefix = PermissionsEx.getUser(e.getPlayer()).getGroups()[0].getPrefix();

Try that.

 

Nice bump.
