Colors in a custom joinmessage config.

Hello everyone. I have a "problem" with my code. I know my code is correct, but i want to change some parts of it.

Code:java

package no.firkanter;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin{
 
 
 
    public void onEnable() {
        getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();   
 
        pm.registerEvents(new PlayerListener(this), this);
 
        System.out.println("LOC enabled!");
    }
 
    public void onDisable() {
 
 
        System.out.println("LOC disabled!");
    }
 
}
 

Code:java

package no.firkanter;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
 
public class PlayerListener implements Listener{
 
    private final Main plugin;
 
    public PlayerListener(Main plugin) {
      this.plugin = plugin;
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPLayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + plugin.getConfig().getString("message"));
    }
 
}
 

Basicly i want there to be different kind of options in the config. Lets say i want to show the message "Hey there!" in yellow, and another day i want "Server is being worked on" in grey another one. I want to change this fast in the config. And by doing this i want to be able to use &1-9 and &a-f Like you know the color codes. In my code i have it so its always green and i dont want to change the code in the plugin everytime im going to change the motd. I know you guys dont like supporting spoonfeeding, but please insert some code just to give an example so i understand.
Thanks.

Try

Code:java

player.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', plugin.getConfig().getString("message")));

 

Ehm i dont know how that work but it seems like if i try to instert a color code in my config it delete the first word. The config is like this : "message: &9Welcome to the server!" But i doesnt seem to work, it just delete what i wrote and goes back to default. Default it "message: Welcome to the server!" random_username

 

Did you try it or not...?

 

Seems like you obviously didn't do it. Specificus

Because it is a string with multiple words (whitespace is present), YAML requires you to have single quotation marks.

Code:

message: Welcome to the server!

This is wrong and will delete the first word. Instead, you want to enclose the whole message, like so:

Code:

message: 'Welcome to the server!'

 

Ehm, im sorry but i dont understand. I tried doing the message like "message: 'Welcome to the server!' But i got alot of errros on the config in console. Maybe use some words that are new-friendly? =) AoH_Ruthless MrInspector random_username

 

Please post your config.yml You need to use YAML format correctly.

 

Code:java

message: Velkommen til serveren!
 

Thats default ^^
And when i edit it :

Code:java

message: &9'Velkommen til serveren!'
 

Ive also tried to use

Code:java

message: &9Velkommen til serveren!
 

But that was when it started deleting words.
random_username

 

It would be this way

Code:

message: '&9Velkommen til serveren!'

 

Thanks alot guys, i know this wasnt much but it is really good to complete something! Thanks
