broadcastMessage() not working

broadcastMessage(); wont work for me, i imported org.bukkit.server(); and it still wont work

 

Server is not a static class, but the current server will be passed to your main plugin constructor. So you can get the Server object with getServer().
Also the import should be just "import org.bukkit.Server;" It's case-sensitive and braces are only for methods, not classes.

This piece of code should work in your plugin class:

Code:

getServer().broadcastMessage("type your message here");

 

the () was a typo sorry thanks for that

is there not a way to do it in the playerlistener class?

 

Sure there is

Make a new constructor for your listener, give it your plugin.
Then you can save it somewhere and call plugin.getServer()...

Code:

private final YourPlugin plugin;

    public YourPluginPlayerListener(YourPlugin instance) {
        this.plugin = instance;
    }


    public void broadcast() {
         this.plugin.getServer().broadcastMessage("blabla");
    }

And initialize it with

Code:

new YourPluginPlayerListener(this)

in your main plugin class

 

A PlayerListener class should have a Plugin variable.

So that would mean calling

Code:

plugin.getServer().broadCastMessage("bla");

Edit: MysticX beat me to it

 

thanks you all so much
