Solved Colour formatting strings and Player send message

I have this: I want it so you can do &a for color codes in game. If it is possible or something like that so it can send you like a blue message

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
if(command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("nopmsg")){
if(args.length == 1){
sender.sendMessage(args);
}
}
return false;
}

 

@Nutowen
To add color codes for message, use ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', THE STRING);

 

Yes it is possible. there are several ways of doing this.

First Method: Use §[ColorNumber] Example: §6This is Gold

Second Method:
ChatColor.[CHATCOLOR] Example: sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.ORANGE + "This is Gold");

If you want players to be able to change the message ingame, or through the config then you need to do this:
ChatColor.translateAlternativeColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("String");
This will make it when the message is modified in the config, color is controlled with &[ColorCode] Example: String: '&6This is Gold'

Also:
if you want a player name in a config file
ChatColor.translateAlternativeColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("String").replace("%player%", sender.getName());
Now use:
String: '&9%player% did something!'
In Config

 

I have another problem. I want it so it does it to a spcific player
/nopmsg <name> hi

then it sends that person hi

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {

if(command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("nopmsg")){
if(args.length == 1){
Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
}
if(args.length == 2){
target.sendMessage(args[1]); target is error because target can't be resolved
}
}
return false;
}

THIS WILL SEND THE TARGET A MESSAGE WITH THEIR NAME!

Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
if(command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("nopmsg")){
if(args.length == 0){
target.sendMessage(target.getName());
}
}
return false;
}

THIS WILL SEND THE TARGET A MESSAGE ARGS 1!

Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
if(command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("nopmsg")){

if(args.length < 1){
sender.sendMessage("not enough args")
return true;
}

if(target == null){
sender.sendMessage("Target not online!");
return true;
}else{
String message = "";
for(int i = 1; i != args.length; i++)
message += args + " ";
message = message.trim();

sender.sendMessage(sender.getName() + " > " + target.getName() + ": " + message);
target.sendMessage(target.getName() + " > " + sender.getName() + ": " + message);


}
}
return false;
}

Sorry for Mistakes, wrote off of the top of my head.

 

We

When I do /nopmsg thegaminglord124 hi
This happens in chat repeated twice:

thegaminglord124 > thegaminglord124: [
LJava.lang.String;@fbf47ed

 

Thats because your targeting yourself

 

thegaminglord124 > DessieYT: LJava.lang.String;@b28b810

When I click on a chest from SimpleCrates with the command on:

thegaminglord124 > CONSOLE:[LJava.lang.String;@4fe2af1d

 

Don't use the paragraph symbol.

This was caused because target was not able to be found. You cannot reference objects that were not created.

There is no need to reverse the sender and target names. That just makes this even more confusing.

That is not his issue.

This is most likely because you have either imported a another String class,
or because there is an issue with the built string. Remove any "String" imports and add "toString()" at the end of "message" to fix this issue.

@Nutowen
Okay. Have you added the "toString()"?

 

sender.sendMessage(sender.getName() + " > " + target.getName() + ": " + message.toString());
target.sendMessage(target.getName() + " > " + sender.getName() + ": " + message.toString());
