Solved Randomly chooses between 1st, 2nd or 3rd void.

Hello, I am making a motd plugin that will randomly choose between 3 messages.

These are:

Code:java

 
event.setMotd(replaceColors(plugin.config.getString("Main.MOTD").replaceAll("%name%", existing.getString("player"))));
event.setMotd(replaceColors(plugin.config.getString("Main.MOTD2").replaceAll("%name%", existing.getString("player"))));
event.setMotd(replaceColors(plugin.config.getString("Main.MOTD3").replaceAll("%name%", existing.getString("player"))));
 

How do I make the plugin choose between one of these?
Randomly each time the user you know.. "Sees" the server tab.
Like if he/she presses "Refresh" or press "Back" then on multiplayer again.. how do I make it change each time?

Help would be appreciated.

 

new Random().nextInt(3); gives you a random value between 0 and 2... I suggest you just add 1 to that value and use it directly after Main.MOTD string. (also add 1 to your first MOTD key, e.g. Main.MOTD1)

 

Okey, I understand that I should put 1 after Main.MOTD but how should I do with new Random().nextInt(3);?
Give me a code please?

 

I've already given you the code... you should learn basic Java

Code:

int num = new Random().nextInt(3) + 1; // random 1 to 3

event.setMotd(replaceColors(plugin.config.getString("Main.MOTD" + num).replaceAll("%name%", existing.getString("player"))));

number + number adds the numbers, but string + object calls object.toString() on it and joins them together.

 

AAAAH!
I understand now! Thank you.

But it didn't work.. :/

what event are you calling this in may I ask?

 

Can you please give use the full code adde

 

Did your initial code even work ? Because I only added the random number to your code.

But yeah, post the full code otherwise we're just guessing.

 

Nvm guys, I had to do this on another place too!

int num = new Random().nextInt(3) + 1; // random 1 to 3

event.setMotd(replaceColors(plugin.config.getString("Main.MOTD" + num).replaceAll("%name%", existing.getString("player"))));
