How can I check if a player said another players name?

Exactly like the title said, I wanted to know if there is a way to check if someone said another players name.

 

Well there's no straightforward way. I guess you'd split the player's message by spaces, then check if any of the words they said are the name of an online player. Something like this (untested):

Code:java

 
public void onPlayerChat(PlayerChatEvent event) {
    String[] words = event.getMessage().split(' '); //Split the message into an array of words
 
    for(String word : words) { //For each word..
        Player p = Bukkit.getPlayer(word); //Get the player with that name
        if(p != null) { //If that player is online..
            //Do stuff here
        }
    }
}

You could do that or you could keep a list of all player names and check if the string contains the name (With a for loop) Then you you need spaces you could do something like " " + name + " ".
You would do this with message.contains().

 

Forseth11 Wat...?

Use contains(String) in String..

 

Forseth11 I suppose that would be easier, yes. The only disadvantage being that it would have a higher false-positive rate.
