Simple Custom Join Message

Hey guys!

Well, today, I was trying to code a simple custom join message for practice and boom: "Type mismatch: cannot convert from void to player." That is the error that I got from "e.setJoinMessage" on. Please help. Code:

Code:java

package me.negative_codezZ.inventorytest;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class main extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();
        Player message = e.setJoinMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString ("JoinMessage")));
 
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }
 
}
 

 

negative_codezZ
I would keep stuff simple and do:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
Player p = e.getPlayer();
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString ("JoinMessage"));)
}

 

negative_codezZ Remove the 'Player message =' part off it. It'll work then.

 

Well, I finished and then this happened. How do I remove the vanilla join message? http://i.imgur.com/nmkXuDP.png

 

Code:java

e.setJoinMessage("");

 

So instead of player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString ("MOTD")) it could just be e.setJoinMessage(getConfig().getString ("MOTD"))?

 

Fairly certain their join message is the one broadcasted throughout the server ("X has joined the game.") so doing that would make the MOTD show up every time someone joined.

 

Oops. I meant JoinMessage not MOTD. Working on an MOTD plugin too and got confused
