Solved Changing text of a sign

Hi, I am creating a plugin with placeholders and I would like to know if it's possible to replace a sign content
for exemple, if the sign contains [snow_test] it will replace it by 1234
and if yes how ?

I tryied with this

Code:

public void ReadSigns(SignChangeEvent e)
    {
        String[] content = e.getLines();
      
        String content1 = content[0];
        String content2 = content[1];
        String content3 = content[2];
        String content4 = content[3];
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        String currentc = p.getLocation().getChunk().getX() + "," + p.getLocation().getChunk().getZ();
        String cc = getChunkCredit(p);
        String ggn = getGroupName(p.getName());
        content1.replace("%%snow_gco%%", getOwner(p.getName()));
        content1.replace("%%snow_test%%", "1234");
        content1.replace("%%snow_curc%%", currentc);
        content1.replace("%%snow_ggn%%", ggn);
        content1.replace("%%snow_cc%%", cc);
      
        content2.replace("%%snow_gco%%", getOwner(p.getName()));
        content2.replace("%%snow_test%%", "1234");
        content2.replace("%%snow_curc%%", currentc);
        content2.replace("%%snow_ggn%%", ggn);
        content2.replace("%%snow_cc%%", cc);
      
        content3.replace("%%snow_gco%%", getOwner(p.getName()));
        content3.replace("%%snow_test%%", "1234");
        content3.replace("%%snow_curc%%", currentc);
        content3.replace("%%snow_ggn%%", ggn);
        content3.replace("%%snow_cc%%", cc);
      
        content4.replace("%%snow_gco%%", getOwner(p.getName()));
        content4.replace("%%snow_test%%", "1234");
        content4.replace("%%snow_curc%%", currentc);
        content4.replace("%%snow_ggn%%", ggn);
        content4.replace("%%snow_cc%%", cc);
        e.setLine(0, content1);
        e.setLine(1, content2);
        e.setLine(2, content3);
        e.setLine(3, content4);
    }

 

@cdnyassuo34 String#replace() returns a new string, you have to set the string to that.
Example:

Code:Java

content1 = content1.replace(...);

 

The thing is that it isn't changing anything and it don't even return errors ...

I think it's not the right event for what I am trying to do, when a player place a sign and have finished to edit it

@cdnyassuo34 SignChangeEvent is called when a player has written on a sign after placing it; you are using the right event.
What is your current code?

 

Code:

public void ReadSigns(SignChangeEvent e)
    {
        String[] content = e.getLines();
      
        String content1 = content[0];
        String content2 = content[1];
        String content3 = content[2];
        String content4 = content[3];
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        String currentc = p.getLocation().getChunk().getX() + "," + p.getLocation().getChunk().getZ();
        String cc = getChunkCredit(p);
        String ggn = getGroupName(p.getName());
        content1 = content1.replace("%%snow_gco%%", getOwner(p.getName()));
        content1 = content1.replace("%%snow_test%%", "1234");
        content1 = content1.replace("%%snow_curc%%", currentc);
        content1 = content1.replace("%%snow_ggn%%", ggn);
        content1 = content1.replace("%%snow_cc%%", cc);
      
        content2 = content2.replace("%%snow_gco%%", getOwner(p.getName()));
        content2 = content2.replace("%%snow_test%%", "1234");
        content2 = content2.replace("%%snow_curc%%", currentc);
        content2 = content2.replace("%%snow_ggn%%", ggn);
        content2 = content2.replace("%%snow_cc%%", cc);
      
        content3 = content3.replace("%%snow_gco%%", getOwner(p.getName()));
        content3 = content3.replace("%%snow_test%%", "1234");
        content3 = content3.replace("%%snow_curc%%", currentc);
        content3 = content3.replace("%%snow_ggn%%", ggn);
        content3 = content3.replace("%%snow_cc%%", cc);
      
        content4 = content4.replace("%%snow_gco%%", getOwner(p.getName()));
        content4 = content4.replace("%%snow_test%%", "1234");
        content4 = content4.replace("%%snow_curc%%", currentc);
        content4 = content4.replace("%%snow_ggn%%", ggn);
        content4 = content4.replace("%%snow_cc%%", cc);
        e.setLine(0, content1);
        e.setLine(1, content2);
        e.setLine(2, content3);
        e.setLine(3, content4);
    }

here it is

 

@cdnyassuo34 Do you have the @EventHandler annotation, and have you registered the listener in your main class?

 

I added @EventHandler but it's still not replacing the text :/

Oh wait, it was caused by a plugin collision :/

@cdnyassuo34 Remember to set the title prefix to solved.
