Chat as offline player

Hei,
i want to send a message with a given player name to the chat trough my plugin with all formattings from player messages which are on the server but with broadcastMessage() there is no formatting.

Example:
if player "Notch" chats:

if i send a broadcast with my own message (can't specify playername, therefore won't work):

what i want:

i don't want to hard code thinks like:

Code:java

broadcastMessage("<"+playername+"> "+msg); // doesn't support any formatting

First idea:
use chat function with an offline player but doesn't support it.

Any other ideas?

 

what do you mean by broadcastMessage not supporting formatting? You can format the message however you wish.

 

St3venAU hm, if i use something like iChat and format the player messages from:

to

then i can't get the formatting which i need and is applyed by iChat

 

This would help

Tomasko Didn't because AsyncPlayerChatEvent needs an online player but i only have a given string (playername) and no player
