Plugin won't send message to player when he/she logs in

Hey everyone, In my PlayerLoginEvent (Yes... it is registered as EVERYTHING else works) I'm trying to send a message to the player like so:

Code:java

e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "[AutoKits]" + ChatColor.WHITE + " - " + "You do not have access to AutoKits and therefore it was cancelled.");

and here is how i start the event:

Code:java

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
public void onPlayerLoginCheck(final PlayerLoginEvent e) {
}

And well, it doesn't send the message to the player

Does anyone think they know why?

P.s. im testing on a server with essentials, could that be why?

 

remove the final modifier

 

Use PlayerJoinEvent.

 

And also instead of doing e.getPlayer().sendMessage. . . you should do Player p = e.getPlayer() . . . so that you do not have to keep doing e.getPlayer.

 

PolarCraft No..

Wrong.. You should do it however you want.. There is no need to make a player variable..

 

I have to use the final modifier, or my other code won't work... I'm instantiating something:

Code:java

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onPlayerLoginCheck(final PlayerLoginEvent e) {
        if(e.getPlayer().hasPermission("autokits.recieve")) {
            Interval countdown = new Interval(this.pluginInstance, 0, 1200 * pluginInstance.getConfig().getInt("interval")) {
                //some methods inside here
            };
            countdown.run();
            this.pluginInstance.getLogger().info("Counter started for player - " + e.getPlayer().getDisplayName());
            e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "[AutoKits]" + ChatColor.WHITE + " - " + "You will start receiving kits every " + pluginInstance.getConfig().getInt("interval") + " minute(s)");
        } else {
            this.pluginInstance.getLogger().info("Counter denied for player - " + e.getPlayer().getDisplayName() + " due to lack of permissions");
            e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "[AutoKits]" + ChatColor.WHITE + " - " + "You do not have access to AutoKits and therefore it was cancelled.");
        }
    }

PlayerJoinEvent seems to work well but I thought it was only called when the player first joins?

 

I don't think there's any event for first join. The thing is that on PlayerLoginEvent the player hasn't actually spawned (I believe).
