How to check if a player wrote something in chat?

I'm checking the player name from the config.

Then I'm checking if the player wrote something, if the player wrote something he will set that as his username.


Is this the correct way to check if the player wrote a word?

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
        String message = event.getMessage();
 
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
 
        if(users.contains(p.getName())) {
        if(message.equalsIgnoreCase(message)) {
 
 
        }
        }
    }

 

Code:java

 
if(message.equalsIgnoreCase(message))

That's asking if the message they sent is the message they sent.
You would want

Code:java

 
if(message.equalsIgnoreCase("message you want to check for in here"))

EDIT: If you meant how to check if the player sent a message then you don't need the message check, the event gets fired when a message is sent

 

How would I check if its a word thats not longer then 6 characters?

I'm not trying to get a specific word, I'm trying to get the players message. The message that he sent will set the players new 'NICKNAME'. Which is not longer then 6 characters.

Lol sorry I didn't explain this above


updated code:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
        String message = event.getMessage();
 
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
 
        if(users.contains(p.getName())) {
        if(message.equalsIgnoreCase(message)) {
            users2.set(p.getName(), message);
            //if player wrote something, set the name and set the name into the config
            im2.open(p);
 
        }
        }
    }

Try the code below.

Code:java

if(!(message.length() > 6)){
// Your code here
}else{
p.sendMessage("Nicknames can be no longer than 6 characters!");
}

If that doesn't work let me know, it should though

 

Okay so this is my new code,
At the bottom of the code, I'm trying to do the AsyncPlayerReceiveNameTagEvent. I'm trying to get the players message that he sent and I'm trying to set his new nick name to it.

How would I get the message off the config?

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
        String message = event.getMessage();
 
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
 
        if(users.contains(p.getName())) {
            if(!(message.length() > 6)){
                users2.set(p.getName(), message);
                //if player wrote something, set the name and set the name into the config
                im2.open(p);
                }else{
                p.sendMessage("Nicknames can be no longer than 6 characters!");
                }
 
 
        } else {
            //do nothing
        }
        }
  @EventHandler
    public void onNameTag(AsyncPlayerReceiveNameTagEvent event) {
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
 
    if (event.getPlayer().getName().equals(users.contains(p.getName()))) {
    event.setTag("Notch"); //Set name from config
 
    }
 
    }

You could use the method of writing/grabbing into from a config that is built into Bukkit.

Read http://wiki.bukkit.org/Introduction_to_the_New_Configuration#Example_Use and see if you can figure it out.
