Overriding Default Commands?

I know that to override a default Bukkit command, you just put it in plugin.yml and set it up like a normal command. But I want to use Server.dispatchCommand on the command that I just overrode. Is there no way to do the equivalent of a "super.method()" dispatchCommand?

More specifically, I'm overriding ban-ip <player|address>. I want my command to do something and then dispatch the Bukkit original ban-ip <player|address>, not my modified one.

Ah, here you would need to use a clever way called "reflection". Try this (not sure if it works):

Code:java

SimpleCommandMap cmap = null;
                        try{
                            if(Bukkit.getServer() instanceof CraftServer){
 
                                final Field f = CraftServer.class.getDeclaredField("commandMap");
                                f.setAccessible(true);
                                cmap = (SimpleCommandMap)f.get(Bukkit.getServer());
                                vcmds = cmap.getFallbackCommands();
                                for(VanillaCommand cmd:vcmds){
                                    if(cmd instanceof BanIpCommand){
                                    vcmds.remove(cmd);
                                    vcmds.add(new CustomBanIpCommand());
                                    break;
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        } catch (Exception e){
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }

And create the class for the command:

Code:java

public class CustomBanIpCommand{
@Override
public void execute(CommandSender sender,String currentAlias,String[] args){
//Code goes here
}
}

 

PreProcessCommandEvent I believe its called, look into that.

 

Thanks, but I don't understand how to use this to call commands. Am I supposed to initialize one and input it to some other method? I also can't figure out how to initialize it because it requires a Player parameter for the sender, and I want to send it as the console.

I could use an event listener to listen for a PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent and act appropriately if the right command was called, but I want this to work with console commands as well.
