Run a console command in a plugin?

I couldn't find anything about running a command as console through a plugin. Is there an easy way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

 

getSever().dispatchCommand(getServer().getConsoleSender, "command goes here");

 

Oh, that's quicker! I've been using PluginCommand to execute commands up until now. Thanks for the quicker and better way of doing that, Technius!

 

I know, this thread is old, and I hope that you will read this:

I wanna use this console command too, and how I can make, that in the command, theres the Playername of the player, who sent the command. Example:

Code:

       
        if (sender instanceof Player)  {
       
            Player player = (Player) sender;
           
            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase ("IReadTheRules"))  {
               
                if(args.length == 0) {
                   
                    getPlayer("playername");
                    getServer().dispatchCommand(getServer().getConsoleSender(), "permissions player addgroup [B](sender)[/B] user");
                    

And at (sender) it writes the name of the player

Basic Java string formatting:

Code:

"permissions player addgroup " + sender.getName() + " user"

?

Still, I don't think you need to use a command to do that, hook the permissions plugin and use their interface.

 

getServer().dispatchCommand(getServer().getConsoleSender(), "permissions player addgroup " + player.getName() + " user");

 

I have it, thanks to both of you

I am trying to run this as a script when I do I get an error that says "getServer is not defined"

 

Use Bukkit.getServer().

 

"Bukkit" is not defined.

 

Then import it!

(You are using an IDE, right? In Eclipse, hit Ctrl-1 on the line where you have the error, and choose to import org.bukkit.Bukkit. I'm sure NetBeans & Intellij have similar functionality).

 

Lol I have the smallest working knowledge of java. I am not making a plugin, I am simply trying to run a script within a plugin that someone else made. This script is written in notepad++ (>.<)

Where have I seen your profile pic from!?

 

Not sure what you mean by "script". Java isn't a scripting language as such.

Read Terry Pratchett at all?

 

Turns out the plugin dev actually had pre-defines variables for me to use. I he just never listed them.

I may have seen a book or two by him walking around a store. After goggling him I shall look into this further!
