Solved how do I get variables?

hi guys. I'm a new bukkit developer and have almost lost all self confidence in doing this as an actual hobby because it's so freaking confusing

anyway

how can I get /broadcast <message> to actually work?

so /broadcast <message>

it broadcasts the prefix from the config and <message>

Code:

package me.ibenqal.helloworld.commands;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import me.ibenqal.helloworld.Main;

public class Broadcast implements CommandExecutor {
   
    private Main plugin;
   
    public Broadcast(Main plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
        plugin.getCommand("broadcast").setExecutor(this);

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        Player p = (Player) sender;
       
        if (p.hasPermission("broadcast.use")) {
            JavaPlugin plugin;
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage((plugin.getConfig().getString("bprefix")) + " ");
            return true;
        }
    }

}

sorry for double posting but I came up with a new code,

Code:

package me.ibenqal.helloworld.commands;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

import me.ibenqal.helloworld.Main;

public class Broadcast implements CommandExecutor {
  
    private Main plugin;
  
    public Broadcast(Main plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
        plugin.getCommand("broadcast").setExecutor(this);
      
    }
  
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            sender.sendMessage("Only players can execute this command");
            return true;
        }
        Player p = (Player) sender;
      
        if (p.hasPermission("broadcast.use")) {
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage((plugin.getConfig().getString("prefix")) + " " + label);
            return true;
        } else{
            p.sendMessage("You do not have permission to execute this command");
        }
        return false;
    }

}

Nevermind, found a solution by myself.

Code:

package me.ibenqal.helloworld.commands;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

import me.ibenqal.helloworld.Main;

public class Broadcast implements CommandExecutor {
 
    private Main plugin;
 
    public Broadcast(Main plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
        plugin.getCommand("broadcast").setExecutor(this);
     
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            sender.sendMessage("Only players can execute this command");
            return true;
        }
       
        if (label.length() < 1) {
            return true;
        }
        Player p = (Player) sender;
     
        if (p.hasPermission("broadcast.use")) {
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage((plugin.getConfig().getString("prefix")) + " " + label);
            return true;
        } else{
            p.sendMessage("You do not have permission to execute this command");
        }
        return false;
    }

}

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

 

Edit your last post instead of double posting. To turn the arguments into a String, append the arguments together with a StringBuilder.

Kinda like this:

Code:

String message;
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

for (String arg : args) {
  stringBuilder.append(arg).append(" ");
}

message = stringBuilder.toString().trim();
