Solved Player Join Message Help

I have my plugin setup to tell the player a message when they join, as shown below:
}

public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
event.setJoinMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Welcom to The Server!");
}
But when ever I or another player joins my server the message is not displayed. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

 

Just do this:
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Welcome to The Server!");
}

or you can make the send message this:
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + getConfig().get("WelcomeMessage");
Then make a config and add WelcomeMessage and you can set it from the server files.
You can also from there make a command that can change it in game.

 

@AKAMiner98 ok thanks!

 

Did you register the event?

No, I did not register the event.
How do you register events?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Code:java

this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
//^ Put this in your onEnable() method

Ok thanks!

 

You might want this, maybe not. It hides the join message from the player thats logging in to seam cleaner

Code:java

    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Custom Message :D");
        event.setJoinMessage(null);
        for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers())
          if (p.getName() != player.getName()) {
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + player.getName() + " Joined the game.");
            }

If you'r done goto you'r first post and set this topic as [Solved] Thanks

Thanks for the code!

 

tom_buscus MayoDwarf You may have confussed him. The this, this isn't the same for every event you register. If your registering an event in a different class, at the top implement Listener and then:
... (this, new ClassYouRegistered).

For more about this, I made a thread on multiple classes, and it's link is in my signature.

 

Yes, but his listening class is his main class. That is if he has a separate listening class or multiple listening classes.

 

MayoDwarf I know, I said that:
