All onCommand args to a string except one

I'm making a plugin to talk as if you were someone else.
The problem I have now is that when I want to get all arguments, it gives the name of the person to say what I want too.
Here's my code so far:

Code:

package me.Grovert11.FakeTalk;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
 
public class ftcommand implements CommandExecutor{
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {     
   
        String Italic = ChatColor.ITALIC.toString();
        String Red = ChatColor.RED.toString();
        String Green = ChatColor.GREEN.toString();
        String DarkRed = ChatColor.DARK_RED.toString();
       
        if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("ft")){
                if(args.length <= 2){
                    sender.sendMessage(Green + "[FakeTalk] " + Red + Italic + "Please use the command like this: " + DarkRed + "/ft PERSON MESSAGE" + Red + ".");
                }
                else{
                    Player player = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
                    String msg = "";
                    for (String s : args){
                        msg = msg + s + " " ;
                    }
                    player.chat(msg);
                }
            }
        return true;
    }
 
} 

Eg. When I do "/ft Grovert11 Hello all!" it looks like I'm saying: "Grovert11 Hello all!" instead of "Hello all!"
What I could do is put args[0] = "" but then everything said will have a space in front of it.

 

I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but this:

Code:

String message = args[1];
for(int i = 1; i < args.length(); i++) {
     message += " " + args[i];
}

The String message will contain the string of arguments starting with the second one.

 

This exact thing was posted before, why doesn't anyone search ? :/ You would get the result alot faster that way.

And there are more :}

But I recommend V10lator's code:

Code:

public String buildMessage(String[] input, int startArg) {
  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(input[startArg]);
  for(int i = ++startArg; i < input.length; i++) {
    sb.append(' ').append(input[i]);
  }
  return sb.toString();
}

 

"alot" No no no no no! It's "a lot"!
