Send and Execute Commands

Hi guys,

I recently got into java and Bukkit development, and would like to create a 'daemon' of sorts to manage commands for various things. I've created ingame commands so when people type various things, it replies globally and to the player in various different ways etc.

However, the 'daemon' part of the plugin is failing epicly. I would like to say a command in chat (in this case, "/cv"), and then I would like my plugin to execute several commands in the console. For example:
I say /cv in chat
In the console, "mv create 1" and "mv modify 1" is executed.

I'm trying to use the script located here: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/send-commands-to-console.3241/But get errors in line 17. I was also wondering if there is an easier way of doing it with server.dispatchCommand, and if so, how would one do so? As said, I'm not very familiar with Java as yet, and am still getting my head around calling classes from other classes and such...

Here is my code so far for my main.java:

Code:

package me.makeshift27015.worldcontroller;
 
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class main extends JavaPlugin {
 
@Override
public void onEnable() {
//Irrelevent for now.
}
 
@Override
public void onDisable() {
//Irrelevent for now.
}
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("cv"); { //Initial command, add args
sender.sendMessage("Hello World."); }
 
return false;
}
}

 

Server.dispatchCommand(<your sender>,<Your command String>);

 

Could you give a small example of it being used in my situation, say, replacing 'Sender.sendMessage' with a usable one? In the one I tried to do, Server cannot be resolved and I'm not sure where the sender would be used. So the console is told who the sender is?

 

do this to send a command to console to be executed:
Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(),<command>);

its what I use in one of my plugins to give mcmmo XP since I cant hook into mcmmo directly...i just make it send a console command the same way id type it manually.

so mine for example is
Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), addxp pString + " mining " + xpadd);

you would have

Code:java

 
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("cv")) {
            Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), mv create 1);
            Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), mv modify 1);
            sender.sendMessage("MV create and modify ran successfull for 1");
            return true;
        }
        return false;    
    }
 

 

Wonderful! Thank you for your help, that works perfectly.

 

No problem at all, Ive asked tons of bukkit questions on here, figured Id pass on what I picked up in the last few weeks.
and ferrybig is a big help also, I think he lives on the forums just replying to plugin dev section
