Solved Problem with crating a custom ChatEvent

First of all I am not that experienced with bukkit, so please tell me if I understood the behavior of ChatEvents wrong
For my plugin I want to edit the chat-messages that some player receive. My Listener checks for AsyncPlayerChatEvents and saves the message that has been send. If that message needs to be edited, I would cancel the original event and create my own ones so that I am able to kind of set the recipients per message.

Code:java

 
manager = plugin.getServer().getPluginManager();
manager.registerEvents(this, plugin);
 
AsyncPlayerChatEvent chatEvent = new AsyncPlayerChatEvent( false, event.getPlayer(), ("test"), event.getRecipients() );
 
manager.callEvent(chatEvent);
 

The Problem that I am having is that I can't get my own ChatEvent getting displayed in chat. The original event is cancelled successfully, but the new one does not appear anywhere. At the same time I don't get any errors, so I am asuming that the event has been created.
Does anybody know where my mistake is?
I can post more code if needed!

 

You can change the recipients without killing the event

 

How? there isnt any method like setRecipients(). And I need to send multiple messages to different recipients based on one chat event

 

Code:

    public Set<Player> getRecipients() {
        return recipients;
    }

This is "SET" just add or remove anything you like from it.

 

Okay, I think I get what you mean
But how about creating additional ChatEvents? I that even possible?

 

there is no additional chat events possible, only internal chat event is response to chat packet recieved from client by server.

if you want to do something else, you must mod both client and server (like if you want to monitor chat open\chat closed)

 

okay thank you - I got my plugin to work now

 

You just can't change the message per-recipient, which I find incredibly annoying.

 

Unless you kill the event

 

event.getRecipients().clear();
event.getRecipients().addAll(your list);

 

Mine works aswell

Code:java

Set<Player> recipients = event.getRecipients();
//....
for(Player p : recipients){
  if("p needs to be removed") recipients.remove(p);
}
