Color Player's Message

I'm looking for the best way to color a player's message. I tried this but it doesnt work .-.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void playerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e){
            Player player = e.getPlayer();
            String name = player.getName();
            if(toggledred.contains(name)) {
                e.setFormat(ChatColor.RED + e.getMessage());
            }
        }

 

@DogeDebugger Are you sure toggledred contains your player name?

 

Yes.

 

@DogeDebugger If the name has colors in between it won't work

Also why are you using setFormat wrongly?

 

I couldnt figure out the method for making a player say something so i gave that a shot .-.

 

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e){
    e.setMessage(ChatColor.RED + e.getMessage());
}

@DogeDebugger

 

Thanks.

 

@DogeDebugger Please, Mark the thread as solved.

 

You should not be modifying the message for format reasons, if you want to change the format then use .setFormat:

Code:java

event.setFormat("%s: " + ChatColor.RED + "%s");
