Player Chat

I was making a plugin for Player Chat and when then do /colour white it will change there name to white as I made this it works with the command and so on but when I do the command the name doesn't changed

My Code:

Code:java

            if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("white")) {
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "You name color was changed to" + ChatColor.WHITE + " white");
                p.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE + p.getName());
            }
        }

 

Code:java

p.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE + p.getName());

Try this

Code:java

p.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE + "" + p.getName());

Also are you using essentials in your plugins?

 

VictoryShot No that doesn't work sorry and yea

VictoryShot Okay that works when I disabled the thing in essentials but it doesn't show what rank I am in

What are you using for ranks?

 

Essentials might change the Custom Name, so what you can do is player.setDisplayName(player.getDisplayName + "stuff");
(not entirely sure, havent checked, never had to work with essentials)

 

VictoryShot GroupManager for the Prefix and so on

MrAwellstein This doesn't seem to work

Weird. I'd check some other plugin like McJobs or something, because I remember it doing what you need to do.

 

MrAwellstein Okay thanks

 

Just a side note: Instead of having them specify a color word, you can let them specify the color/style codes themselves with minimal code on your part (if you wanted):

Code:java

 
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender cs, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if (!cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("colour"))
            return true; // not the right command. do nothing.
        if (!(cs instanceof Player)) {
            cs.sendMessage("Only players may access this command.");
            return true;
        }
        Player player = (Player) cs;
        if (args.length() == 0) {
            player.sendMessage("Only players may access this command.");
            return true;
        }
        String colourCode = args[0].trim();
        if (!colourCode.matches("(?i)&([a-f0-9k-or])")) { // check for valid color/style codes
            player.sendMessage("Not a valid color code.");
            return true;
        }
        String newName = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', colourCode + player.getName());
        player.sendMessage("Your name has been changed to " + newName);
        player.setDisplayName(newName);
        return true;
    }
 

This example uses the & symbol for color codes. It can be changed to anything, even a value set from the config.yml easily.
