    How can you stop all incoming chats from displaying on a spacific Players chat window?

    I don't want to mute everyone, I still want them to chat as normal. I only want to know how to stop any chats from being sent to one player only.
     
  2. Listen for the PlayerChatEvent, than check if the player is the player you want to block, if it is, cancel the event, else, don't cancel it:)

    The Player involved in this event is the player sending the message.
    That would mute the player. I don't want to mute him I want to stop all incoming to him.
     
  4. Oh that way, ehm that's a different story:p
    You than should get all the online players, loop through them, and send all these players the message except for the player that you don't want to let the message see.
     
  5. LexLaiden Use the PlayerChatEvent at highest priority, cancel it and send the message from it manually to all players except the one.

    OK I got it. blackwolf12333 you were in the right direction. Use the PlayerChatEvent and get the set of recipients and remove Player from that set. Don't cancel event.
     
  8. ok, i didn't know you could set the recipients:p but you could also cancel the event and get the message, after that you had to send the message manually...

    IMO it's much easier to just remove the player from the recipients list.

    it would be..

    Though if youre working with with a channel system, it would be best to just cancel the event, and pass it into the class that handles the chat channels.

    You can also use the conversations API if you want to block all chat such that the player can 'talk' with your plugin without any commands.

    Not necessarily, remember, events gets passed to _ALL_ plugins no matter if its canceled or not. Thats why we have the priority system so that a plugin can catch the event at the last stop before it gets executed or before the rest of the plugins.

    A plugin can always uncancel a canceled event :)
     
  14. I was talking about plguin that monitors chat, mostly plugins cancel these events if its spam or something else, if you cancel it, it wont show up on plugins that monitor chat

    Depends if the monitoring plugin listens to canceled events or not. But a chat monitor that logs canceled events is a bad monitor ;)

    Thanks for your feedback

    OK I went with my first responce (to used the getRecipients() to get a Set and just remove the one(s) I wanted to and you do not cancel the event. This works perfect and I have added it to my VariableTriggers as a script command
    @QUIET [PlayerName] [Seconds]

    I just uploaded an update with this in it along with the addition of Area triggers. Once the Dev Team aproves you can get the newest v1.1.2

    Yeah that's happened to my mcstats plugin because a different plugin cancels chat then resends it and my plugin only counts the chat if the event isn't cancelled so I will have to change it.
