Need help with Dispaly Name

So, I am making a plugin for my friends server, but I can't seem to get to set a nickname when I type the command, everything else works, but this doesn't, here is my code:

Code:java

            player.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN + "Elf : " + player.getDisplayName());

 

r u sure that's not working? do you ahve any plugins that r overriding the nicks (e.g essentials[chat]?)

 

Try saving the new nick to a string, and then assigning it. it might be going in a loop trying to get the DisplayName from itself.

Are you using Essentials on the server?

 

JaguarJo <3 I'm guessing that was you.

 

gabe4356
It's being overridden. Is this for the chat? If so,
Use

Code:java

e.setFormat("Elf"+p.getDisplayname());

 

octoshrimpy that's not how Java works.
gabe4356 paste full class.

1. Why unsafe cast sender to player? Check if its a player first.
2. What the heck is foo() for?
3. So the only displayname not working is elf? Or what?
