Stop some players from seeing chat

If a player has this toggled they wont see messages.. how would i do this?

 

@XxZHALO13Xx Modify the collection returned by AsyncPlayerChatEvent#getRecipients()

Steps to find out:
1. Reason that AsyncPlayerChatEvent should be used somehow
2. Go to documentation.
3. Search for AsyncPlayerChatEvent
4. Quickly scan all methods.
5. Find the correct method and read documentation.

@Rocoty i have. i just dont know how to cancel the msg for some

 

@XxZHALO13Xx Remove them from the Set...

 

@Rocoty ... And how does one do that

 

Create a list of players.

Code:

ArrayList<Player> nochat = new ArrayList<Player>();

Add players to that list when they toggle.
Look for the event and remove them.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
    for (Player p : nochat) {
        event.getRecipients().remove(p);
    }
}

 

@567legodude Or Set#removeAll(Collection<?>)

 

@567legodude @Rocoty when i do it when i chat nothing pops up but it shows it to others

@Rocoty @567legodude

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        String msg = e.getMessage();
 
        if(toggledChat.contains(p)){
            for (Player players : toggledChat) {
                e.getRecipients().remove(players);
            }
        }
        else{
            if(!toggledChat.contains(p)){
                for (Player playerson : toggledChat) {
                    e.getRecipients().add(playerson);
                }
            }
        }

Wow that's some serious code.

Remove the whole "else { }" block, that is 100% useless. Also if you have the exact invert of what you're trying to achieve, this would mean that toggledChat contains the muted players, not the ones who receive them

 

That means that you put yourself in no-chat mode. Which means it works. Because you said.

 

@567legodude @Webbeh like they wont see other players messages. not there own. i still see messages just not ones i type

 

@XxZHALO13Xx I think your issue isn't necessarily the way you handle chat events, but is probably related to other parts of your code. If you'd post your whole code that would be really helpful towards us helping you.

 

@Rocoty i dont have an issue with the code i just don't know how to hide the chat from other players

 

@XxZHALO13Xx Well, it has been explained to you numerous times. I will try again, step by step.

You need to handle AsyncPlayerChatEvent (which you probably already do).
When handling this event, get the set of all recipients with event.getRecipients().
This returns a mutable set in regular cases.
With the returned set you can add or remove recipients at your leisure.
What you want to do is remove from the set those players that have chat toggled off.
This can be achieved by calling the remove(Player) method on the set.
If you have a collection of players you want to remove from the set, use removeAll(Collection).
You do NOT need to add any players to the set as all players on the server are in the set by default.

If you are still confused, please explain as thoroughly as you can what you are confused about. Tell the details, please.

 

@XxZHALO13Xx I already provided you with a very simple answer.

Except you did something like this.

Ill tell you that what I posted, any player in the list will not receive chat.

 

• AsyncPlayerChatEvent
• Iterate through the recipients
• Check to see if the iterated player is in a Collection (preferably a Set) of players that won't see chat.
• remove player from set if so

Or Bukkit.shutdown() will also prevent players from seeing chat. jk

Iterate through the toggled chat collection and remove each entry from the recipients. Or better yet. recipients.removeAll(collectionOfPlayersWhoWontSeeChat);
