How?

Im making a plugin and i want to change a part of the MOTD of the server with a string but i can t. How i can do that?
My code:

Code:

public class ScrimmEvents implements Listener{
    String player = "Test";
      @EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.MONITOR)
      public void onServerListPing(ServerListPingEvent event)
      {
        event.setMotd("§a§lScrimmage of" getString.("player"));
      }

}

 

@ElCreeperHD You should really get comfortable with Java before trying to write Bukkit plugins. Your code shows that you don't have a knowledge of Java.

 

1. Remove the EventPriority
2. Whats this:

? That won't even compile

 

"event.setMotd("§a§lScrimmage of" getString.("player"));" makes no sense.
You don't put a period after the method name when calling it, as it is a method and has parameters. You also don't use quotation marks when using a variable either. You would do it like: "getString(player);" as earlier in the code you defined the variable "player" as a string.
Even then though your code is still messed up in many ways.

You can learn java here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
You don't have to be an expert java programmer before learning bukkit, but you should definitely know the basics and how to call a method, use variables, ect.

 

@ElCreeperHD K ill help you here but ill try not to spoon feed, first its cool to see you are starting off but you should try some tutorials to help you with the basics of starting bukkit plugins, try either TheBCBros or Pogo - Coding and More , next for coloring strings in bukkit you need to use ChatColor.<What ever color you wish> and to put 2 strings together you need to use the '+' character for example: player.sendmessage(ChatColor.RED + "Hello player, " + ChatColor.GREEN + player.getName()); that would send a player a message in red saying hello player <their name>

 

1. Why?
2. I know that the get string is not going to work. Im asking how to do that.

 

THIS THREAD THO LMAOOOO

 

I saw that tutorials, but for that it don t helped me...

 

@ElCreeperHD its just the name of the string

 

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! TheBCBroz makes the WORST tutorials that are outdated and he teaches bad code practices

 

@ElCreeperHD did you try this video ?

@FisheyLP Pardon me for helping gosh

Thats true, they help only for specific things and in the practice they didn t help.

And please learn java before bukkit you don't even know the syntax you learn in the first hour when learning java

 

Problem not solved.

 

@ElCreeperHD
Nobody is going to solve the problem for you. Learn java, then bukkit. Everyone has given you enough information to solve your problem.
