Solved Why won't this plugin work? (Alert online mods when a player types a specific command)

I'm trying to make a plugin that alerts people with the permission "arcane.mod" whenever a player types a specific command - For example, "opme" or "hack" is what I have it set to.

Code:java

  @EventHandler
  public void onPlayerCommandPreprocess(PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent e)
 
  {
 
    Player player = e.getPlayer();
    if (e.getMessage() == ("opme") || e.getMessage() == ("hack")){
 
        Bukkit.broadcast(ChatColor.GOLD + "[Alert] " + ChatColor.WHITE + player.getName() + ChatColor.GOLD +
            " issued command \"" + ChatColor.WHITE + e.getMessage() + ChatColor.GOLD + "\".", "bukkit.broadcast.admin");
 
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "you typed something...");
 
    }
  }

It's just not doing anything! It only worked when I changed the == over to != for some reason. But it didn't alert for every command but opme/hack... It alerted for every single command. :/

Thanks!

You need to put "/opme" and "/hack" I think.

 

@redcano, You are trying to get the message that a Player has sent on a PlayerCommandPreProcessEvent i would recommend using a AsyncPlayerChatEvent and hopefully that will solve your problem.

 

.equals to compare strings
EDIT: Why didn't the people above me even see that, don't post without actually analyzing the code.

 

redcanoe, Also i would recommend using .contains (Couldn't edit my original post)

LordVakar, I believe it is mostly conventions to use .equals on strings since '==' also works.

Read first post to question and go review some java.

 

@LordVaka, Okay your point has now cleared up a mind****

 

I ended up doing this and it worked, thanks:

Code:java

  @EventHandler
  public void onPlayerCommandPreprocess(PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent e)
 
  {
 
    Player player = e.getPlayer();
    if (e.getMessage().startsWith("/opme") || e.getMessage().startsWith("/hack")|| e.getMessage().startsWith("/gamemode")){
 
        Bukkit.broadcast(ChatColor.GOLD + "[Alert] " + ChatColor.WHITE + player.getName() + ChatColor.GOLD +
            " issued command \"" + ChatColor.WHITE + e.getMessage() + ChatColor.GOLD + "\".", "bukkit.broadcast.admin");
 
    }
  }
