AsyncChatEvent

Hey Bukkit,

I'm trying to make this mention plugin, here is what it is supposed to do:

Code:

    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGH)
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
        String msg = event.getMessage().toLowerCase();
        for(Player players : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
            if(msg.contains(players.getName().toLowerCase())){
                event.getRecipients().remove(players);
                players.sendMessage(event.getFormat().replaceAll("%1$s", players.getName()).replaceAll("%2$s", event.getMessage().replaceAll(players.getName(), ChatColor.AQUA+"@"+players.getName())));
                players.playSound(players.getLocation(), Sound.NOTE_PLING, 10.0f, 10.0f);
            }
        }
    }

Basically, I'm trying to send the player who got mentioned the message, but with their name changed with a @TheirName. But the format thing doesn't work, it just prints out: "%1$s" for the name, and "%2$s" for the message: Any ideas?


Any ways I can fix this?

 

@DoggyCode™ Use String#format instead of replace all, that's what those tokens were meant for.

 

@DoggyCode™
Worth mentioning that the reason why your code doesn't work is because String#replaceAll takes a regular expression, not a CharSequence. "%1$s" is not a valid regex so it's ignored. You'd want to use String#replace instead.

This code

Code:

String exampleString = "Hello %1$s";
System.out.println(exampleString.replaceAll("%1$s", "world"));
System.out.println(exampleString.replace("%1$s", "world"));

provides this output

Code:

Hello %1$s
Hello world

As mentioned above, you can also use String#format to achieve the correct output.

 

Thanks

Hey! I'm back again, I got it working, but I'm still stuck with one thing.

Code:

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGH)
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
        String msg = event.getMessage().toLowerCase();
        for(Player players : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
            if(!(players == p)){
                if(msg.contains(players.getName().toLowerCase())){
                    event.getRecipients().remove(players);
                    players.sendMessage(String.format(event.getFormat(), p.getName(), event.getMessage().replaceAll(players.getName(), ChatColor.AQUA + "@" + players.getName())));
                    players.playSound(players.getLocation(), Sound.NOTE_PLING, 100.0f, 1.0f);
                }
            }
        }
    }

As you can see, if a player mentions another player in their message, it will send a "PLING" to the player that was mentioned, plus a modified message where their name is AQUA:"@Highlighted". But my issue is, I need to somewhat reset the color after aqua, as the rest of the message is then colored it aqua. I want it back to the default format color.

Just add "ChatColor.RESET" as last statement to the message string.
