    But I have seen on Hypixel players with a longer nametag. How do they do that?
    Or do they use scoreboard prefixes?

    Is there a method to set the player name to the original one ? And why doesn't everyones name get reset after doing the bukkit /reload ?
     
  5. TheRoflcopter You can still get the player's name with getName()

    Nick Speaw and not skin.
    Code:java
    1. @EventHandler
    2. public void onNameTag(final PlayerReceiveNameTagEvent e){
    3. final Player p = e.getNamedPlayer();
    4. PermissionUser user = PermissionsEx.getUser(p);
    5. e.setTag(user.getPrefix().replaceAll("&", "§") + user.getName());
    6. }

    PHP:
      Kurucu:
        
    options:
          
    rank'1'
        
    default: false
        prefix
    '§c§lOWNER§f '
        
    suffix'&f'
        
    permissions:
        - 
    '*'

    Speaw You don't! Hurray!

    Instead, use the scoreboard API :)

    mbaxter Why to use TagAPI if the Scoreboard API allows us to create name tags up to 64 characters?

    For example TagAPI allows you to change the name for every person-to-person individually. So for example I can see my own nametag as "Sander", while you see it as "Someone" and yet another person sees it as "Unknown", etc. TagAPI has a few more nice possibilities like this which scoreboardAPI doesn't.

    TagAPI was created before scoreboards existed at all. Back then, it was useful for coloring.

    Now, it still is useful for completely changing a username. You can't do that with scoreboards! :)

    Well, I have a plugin that I'm creating and I don't want it to be using "@EventHandler" But, the "event" function only works with EventHandlers. I kinda need help with that. (If I'm going a little off topic just tell me to create a new forum or conversation)

    Then you aren't going to be able to make many plugins.

    mbaxter How can I use this when making it so
    Code:java
    1. @EventHandler
    2. public void onHit(final EntityDamageByEntityEvent e){
    3.  
    4.  
    5. if(e.getDamager() instanceof Player){
    6. Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(this, new Runnable() {
    7. Player p =(Player)e.getEntity();
    8.  
    9.  
    10. @Override
    11. public void run() {
    12. //Set nametag RED
    13. }
    14.  
    15. }, 250L);

    Hey, I was wondering why my players are all Steves when I change their name color?
    How my code works is that players get their PlayerListName as their name tag, which works fine except they lose their skin.
    This is my TagAPI handler:
    Code:java
    1. /**
    2. * Handles TagAPI events
    3. */
    4. public class TagListener implements Listener {
    5. /**
    6.   * Fires when a player receives a name-tag from another player
    7.   */
    8. @EventHandler
    9. public void tagListen(AsyncPlayerReceiveNameTagEvent event) {
    10. event.setTag(event.getNamedPlayer().getPlayerListName());
    11. }
    12. }

    and this is how I set the Player List Name:
    Code:java
    1. player.setPlayerListName("§b§l" + player.getName());
    2. /* This is pseudo-code, I removed the parts where I trim the name in case it's too long*/

    Note that the account I tested on didn't need to trim, so the player name is the same.
    Also, I tried checking if the player name wasn't adding some messy stuff using a simple debug line:
    Code:java
    1. Player player = (Player) commandSender;
    2. player.sendMessage("[" + player.getPlayerListName().replace("§", "&" ) + "]");

    But it outputs it correctly without any extra spaces or trimed text:
    Code:
    [&b&lMOMOTHEREAL]
    I get no errors in my console, and I use CraftBukkit 1.7.10 with TagAPI v3.0.6.

    I know this pretty long, but I hope I can get some help!
    Thanks, Momo.

    In 1.7.10 there's no way to have anything but Steves without risking kicking players or other issues.

    If you just want to color usernames, use the Scoreboard API instead. Check the Bukkit javadocs.

    Hmm, interesting. What about if I want to change a player's list name, then I can't use the ScoreboardAPI? I've seen many servers that have colored names and are able to change a player's name, and they keep their skins (when using their right name)... while running 1.7.10!
    EDIT: Nevermind, got it: use Scoreboard for non-diguised players, then use TagAPI if disguised!

    Use a map with uuid as key and boolean as value, set to true in the code you have there, refresh nametags after, and in the nametag receive event add a check for that map, if true change to red

    Assuming TagAPI development weren't dead, you'd write a plugin that uses it :)
