Return String from PlayerChatEvent

Hello! I want to get a message a specific user sends and use it in another method. How can I do it? This is my current code:

Code:

@EventHandler
     public String recieveAdMessage(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e, Player player) {
        
         if(e.getPlayer() == player) {
             return e.getMessage();
         }else {
             return null;
         }

But I don´t know how to use this message in another method.

 

@MiBB3L Read the Event API Reference & read up on how Java methods work.

 

you can store it in a variable like this

Code:

     public String playerMessage;
    
    @EventHandler
    public String recieveAdMessage(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e, Player player) {

        if(e.getPlayer() == player) {
            playerMessage = e.getMessage();
        }else {
            return null;
        }

 

That's also wrong. That's not even how you define the methods for events.

 

It would help if you better described what you are trying to do. Typically, if something requires a message from chat I either perform the functionality in the chat event (if it's minor) or call the appropriate method from the chat event.
