Code not getting executed

Ok, I'm trying to get into this plugin development, so to start I thought I'd do a basic thing and have the player's name sent back to them in a message when they login. I've never touched Java before but I know Python so bear with me
I have the player listener registered for joining players like this:

Code:

        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvent(Event.Type.PLAYER_JOIN, playerListener, Priority.Normal, this);

and in the PlayerListener I have this function:

Code:

public void onPlayerLogin(PlayerLoginEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        String name = player.getName();
        player.sendMessage(name);
    }

The problem is that when someone logs in, the function isn't getting called. Is the hook broken or am I just missing something?

Thanks in advance

 

You are using the correct hook (PLAYER_JOIN), but the wrong method for it
There is also a PLAYER_LOGIN hook.

Try this:

Code:

public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
String name = player.getName();
player.sendMessage(name);
}

 

Awesome! Thank You so much! Expect to see more of me though probably
