ChatReplace + Colors

Hey guy, i want to make a chat plugin for prefixes and suffixes.

Code:

@EventHandler (priority = EventPriority.LOW)
public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    PermissionUser user = PermissionsEx.getUser(player);
    String[] msg = event.getMessage().split(" ");
    String suffix = user.getSuffix();
    String prefix = user.getPrefix();
    //player.setPlayerListName(suffix + player.getName());
    //String eventMessage = event.getMessage();
    player.sendMessage("My Suffix is: " + suffix +  player.getName());
    String newmsg = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < msg.length; i++) {
        newmsg = newmsg + msg[i];
        newmsg = newmsg + " ";
    }
    event.setMessage(prefix + newmsg);
}

i've 2 problems with this:

1: the "suffix" give me out the color code in minecraft like &4 or something, i want to have to color in minecraft of this...
2: when im writing, my name is still here like: <MyName>: "prefix" text, i want to remove the <MyName>

thank you!

 

oh look, another prefix suffix plugin :|

I'll still help you, for the &4 thing use Chatcolor.TransformsomethinghereIforgot(text, "&")
for the <name>:, check the event.setFormat()

 

oh hey zach! i use your plugin right now its very good!

thank you for the help! i'll try it

thank you so much! it worked!

both problems fixed with:

Code:

event.setFormat((ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&',  prefix + player.getName()) + ChatColor.WHITE + ": " + ChatColor.WHITE + event.getMessage()));

Use the getdisplayname instead of getname. GetName is for keeping track of a player, display is for showing to other people.

There are plugins that modify the displayname so you can have a nick name for example.

 

aah ok thanks!
