Using arrays and colors in player.chat()

how do I use arrays and colors in player.chat()?

Code:

player.chat("Hello world"); 

when I do something like that, it'll make someone say "Hello world"

but if I do this:

Code:

player.chat("Welcome" + words[1] + "to the world");

or:

Code:

player.chat(ChatColor.RED + "Welcome" + words[1] + "to the world");

I get internal error. Is there a way to use colors and arrays with player.chat or an alternative?

Note: ChatColor is imported and I do have an array.

 

Tate413 If the size of words is 1, check for words[0] because Java starts with 0.

 

@d3v1n302418 the way it works is, when someone types /ask <player> <item>, it get's broken into an array. I want to use their name, so it'd be words[1]. but player.chat() doesn't work when I put in the array or colors.

 

Tate413 Actually, "ask" would be the label (Considering you do String label as one of your params for onCommand) and anything after that would be words[] (Consdering you do String[] words as a param in onCommand). So, if you wanted "ask" you would do cmd.getName().doStuff() or label.doStuff(). If you wanted <player> you would do words[0] and if you wanted <item> you would do words[1]

 

DonkeyTeeth2013 This isn't what I'm asking. I'm asking how do I get arrays and chat colors to work in player.chat().

 

and he is telling you what your problem is!

 

TheAnswerIsMinecraft even if it is word[0] to get the players name, using word[1] should have given me the item name and not internal error.

 

Try

Code:

p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "");

 

Evoke I did have that at first, but I'd like it to be for the person typing the command says it in chat. I guess if there's no way to make that work then I'll use sendMessage
