Solved Store Player Nicknames

I want to make player nicknames, I made some code to save the nickname and the player can chat with it, but i'm thinking this could cause lag if a lot of people are chating, any ideas if I should leave it as is or could someone help me with some kind of array list thing for nicknames to load into? Thanks

 

Meatiex you could try a hashmap

 

Meatiex player.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "name");

 

Thank you so much, it worked great

I don't want to use display name because my chat is across more than one server.


If you were wondering how I did it:

Code:java

public class Nick implements Listener {
 
    public static Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
 
    @EventHandler
    public void join (PlayerJoinEvent event) {
 
        File f = new File("C:/UserData/Players/" + event.getPlayer().getName() + ".txt");
        if(!f.exists()) {
            map.put(event.getPlayer().getName(), event.getPlayer().getName());
            event.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Your Nickname Isn't Setup!");
            return;
        }
 
        try(FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("C:/UserData/Players/" + event.getPlayer().getName() + ".txt")) {
                String nick;
                nick = IOUtils.toString(inputStream);
                map.put(event.getPlayer().getName(), nick);
    } catch (IOException e) {}
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void chat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
        String nick = map.get(event.getPlayer().getName());
        event.setFormat(nick.replaceAll("[^A-Za-z0-9^\\&]", "").replaceAll("&", "§") + ChatColor.WHITE + ": " + event.getMessage());
    }
 
}
 

Code:java

public class Nick implements CommandExecutor {
      public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
 
        if ((sender instanceof Player)) {
          Player player = (Player)sender;
          if (player.hasPermission("meatie.nick")) {
              if (args.length == 1) {
 
              File file = new File("C:/UserData/Players/" + player.getName() + ".txt");
                      try {
                        PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(file, "UTF-8");
                        String nick = args[0].replaceAll("[^A-Za-z0-9^\\&]", "").replace("&k", "").replaceAll("&l", "").replaceAll("&m", "").replaceAll("&n", "").replaceAll("&o", "")
                                .replace("&K", "").replaceAll("&L", "").replaceAll("&M", "").replaceAll("&N", "").replaceAll("&O", "");
                        writer.println(nick);
                        writer.close();
                        String dnick = nick.replace("&a", "").replace("&A", "").replace("&b", "").replace("&B", "").replace("&c", "").replace("&C", "").replace("&d", "").replace("&D", "")
                        .replace("&e", "").replace("&E", "").replace("&1", "").replace("&2", "").replace("&3", "").replace("&4", "").replace("&5", "").replace("&6", "").replace("&7", "")
                        .replace("&8", "").replace("&9", "");
                        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Nickname Now " + ChatColor.RED + dnick);
                        me.Meatie.Listiner.Nick.map.put(sender.getName(), nick);
                    } catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
          } else {
              player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "/nick <name>");
          }
          }
              }
        return true;
    }
 
}
 

 

Meatiex No problem.
