Chat - Making prefix's ?

Hi!

how i can add a prefix to a player in the chat with the asyncchatevent or other? Without setFormat and changing the displayName() , because if i do that the pex prefix and essential prefix not works :/

 

use setFormat like this:

Code:

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
//event
 
event.setFormat("[Prefix]" + event.getFormat());

This makes sure that any other format editing stays in with what you add to it. Setting the EventPriority to highest will ensure that your event happens last incase there are other plugins that also edit the prefix

 

Thanks!

edit:// hm, but how i can make that i show the prefix? if i place the event.format() in a event.setMessage its not work, but how i do it?

 

it should be in an event.setFormat not event.setMessage

 

yes, but if i just make the setFormat, nothing happens

 

What I used to do was cancel the event and send it how I wanted... probably not the best way.

 

post your code

 

Yes, but if i make it so, the pex and other prefix's are not sendet, not?

Code:

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.LOW)
    public void chatevent(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        if (!event.isCancelled()) {
event.setFormat(ChatColor.BLUE + "["+ "]" + event.getFormat());
             
            }
                 
                 
        }
    }

So you want a standalone plugin that will add to the PEX prefixes?? If you want that you will need to explore the PEX API

 

change the event priority to highest. If you have another plugin that changes the format and it happens after yours it will probably over-write it.

 

nope, its change nothing

 

are you sure you are registering the listener?
Also you don't really need the if(!event.isCancelled())

 

yes, i have

 

can you post all of your code

 

Ok.
Here the Listener:

Code:

package me.universum.points;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.EventPriority;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
 
public class bpl implements Listener {
   
   
   
    Points plugin;
    public bpl(Points plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
   
    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void chatevent(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        if (!event.isCancelled()) {
            Player p = event.getPlayer();
event.setFormat(ChatColor.BLUE + "["+ ChatColor.GOLD +ChatColor.BLUE +"]" + event.getFormat());
               
            }
                   
                   
        }
    }}

Here the main-class:

Code:

package me.universum.points;
 
 
import java.io.File;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
 
public class Points extends JavaPlugin{
   
   
   
   
   
    public void onDisable() {
        System.out.println("[Points] wurde deaktiviert");
    }
   
    public void onEnable() {
        System.out.println("[Points] Erfolgreich aktiviert!");
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new bpl(this), this);
       
       
       
 
    }}

 

It works fine for me. What other plugins do you have installed?

 

Uuh xD Many

the current use list (other are not used in moment, because its just my testserver)

1.worldedit
2.worldguard
3.lottery
4.falsebook
5.deathmessage
6.signteleporter
7.iconomy
8.chestshop
9.dynmap
10.lwc
11.mobarena
12.permissionsex
13.vault
14.simplesignedit

 

Try EventPriority.MONITOR What I've heard from this is that your event will get the latest changed state of the event if you use MONITOR.

 

nope, not working

 

I was messing around with it more and came up with this:

Code:

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
public void chatevent(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event)
{
if (!event.isCancelled())
{
final Player p = event.getPlayer();
p.setDisplayName("[]" + p.getDisplayName());
plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
String name = p.getDisplayName();
name = name.replace("[]", "");
p.setDisplayName(name);
}
}, 1);
 
}
}

I've been told that MONITOR allows you to get the state after it was fired so it allows you to respond to something but not modify the event.

EDIT:// if i use nothing plugin, just my plugin, its works!

EDIT:// Jogy34 Thaanks!!! with your code its works Jey

Ok, next problem If i use chatcolors, its override all other chatcolors of my name + text .. But i would only have it on my prefix... its exist a chatcolor "nothing"? so after my prefix i make chatcolornothing and the others chatcolors are invoked..

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

ChatColor.WHITE will turn it back to how it normally is in the chat

 

Wouldn't that code change the display name, then change it back?

 

It changes it back after the chat message displays

 

I see. I tried using this code in my plugin, but for some reason, the chatevent won't fire, even if I change it to onPlayerChat. Any suggestions?

 

Make sure you registered your event and that you have the @EventHandler annotation above the method

 

Right. I actually realized before I had refreshed the page that I forgot to register the event, so I did, and it works fine now. Now to fix all the other errors...
