Adding Permissions during an OnPlayerJoinEvent

Just wondering if it's possible to add a permission to a player at all through bukkit, without coding up a permissions plugin, and how I could do it through an OnPlayerJoinEvent(). Thanks I appreciate all the help I can get!

 

Here's how you test if a player has permission:
//(We'll pretend like p has been defined as a Player and we have a permission called something.whatever)
p.hasPermission("something.whatever")
//^That returns a boolean value. Here's how you might apply it:
if(p.hasPermission("something.whatever"))
{
//do stuff
}

 

That's not what I was asking. I don't want to check if the player has a permission, I already know how to do that. I want to make it so that when a player joins it checks if they don't have a certain permission, and if they don't, then ADD a permission. How can I give e.getPlayer(), a permission when they join.

 

I think he meant to add/give a permission to a player, not to check if the player had a permission

Edit: Ninja'd

 

There's probably a better way to do this but a last resort would be to send a command from the console automatically giving them the permission if you really don't want to make a simple permissions plugin.

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event)
{
String cmd;
//^Whatever command you want to use
if(!event.getPlayer().hasPermission("something.whatever"))
{
Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), cmd);
}
}

You could use an API like Vault, here's their javadocs if you'd like to take a look

 

Thanks I figured it out from there! Thanks man I really do appreciate it!
