  1. How would I get a player Name other than the evt.getPlayer's from an AsyncChatEvent?
    I want to get all online players and when a player uses a name in chat I want my code to happen

    I'm on my phone and can't really write in code so I'm going to just post it here:

    for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    if(e.getMessage().contains(p.getName())){
    //Do stuff
    }
    }
     
  4. yupie_123 I'm trying to do that but it wont work with this code
    Code:java
    1. for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    2.  
    3. String message = evt.getMessage();
    4.  
    5. message = message.replace(p, ChatColor.AQUA + p + ChatColor.RESET);
    6.  
    7. evt.setMessage(message);
    8. //Do stuff
    9. }

    I get an error saying I can't use the operator + on the second part of message.replace

    You need to remember that you are not in the main thread. Don't make unsafe api calls.

    Those are perfectly thread safe API calls.

    I haven't really checked implementation, so I can't argue with that. However, it is not marked as a thread safe call in javadocs. It even specifically says "Any use of this collection from asynchronous threads is unsafe.", that's why I mentioned it.

    Edit: typo

    Uhhhh no, Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() is not thread-safe, why in the world would you think it is?

    Source code. It is a CopyOnWriteArrayList wrapped in an unmodifiable List

    But what it actually represents is not thread-safe.

    xTrollxDudex List players in PlayerList is the copy on write, getOnlinePlayers() wraps it using Collections.unmodifiableList()

    [edit] the unmodifiable part hardly adds thread safety, but the copy on write is supposed to be thread safe according to the docs

  17. IsThisNameNotTaken As a side note you're trying to use the Player rather than the Player's name.

    Try:
    Code:java
    1. String message = e.getMessage();
    2. String pname = p.getName();
    3. String aqua = ChatColor.AQUA + "":
    4. String reset = ChatColor.RESET + "":
    5.  
    6.  
    7. if (message.contains(pname){
    8. message.replaceFirst(pname, aqua + pname + reset);
    9. }


    Pretty sure it's replaceFirst, couldn't check
