Solved How do I create command aliases now?

Its been a while since I last used the bukkit API and now im facing this little problem, I usually register command aliases in the plugin.yml like this:

Code:java

commands:
  creativecontrol:
    aliases: [cc, ccontrol]
    description: CreativeControl Commands
    usage: /creativecontrol help

But it wont work anymore, this will crash the server with some sort of "/cc cant be an alias for it self" or something like that, I searched around but couldn't find any information about that, just that I had to use the new bukkit command structure, how do I do that?

FurmigaHumana Should still work.

 

In addition to this, when making the command you need to check if(command.equalsBlahBlah || command.equalsBlahBlah)

If you do it that way you don't get the benefit of aliases. You're describing checking the commandLabel, which gives the actual command name that was typed. Using command.getName() on the other hand will always give the de-aliased name of the command, so in this case it will always return "creativecontrol" even if the player typed /cc or /ccontrol. Anyway,

That seems fine, I can't think what would be wrong. Could you post your onCommand method?

 

The last time I tried, you had to define the aliases when checking what command the player has typed as well as putting it under the aliases in the plugin.yml.

 

I assume we're talking about the same thing here?

Code:java

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args)
{
    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("creativecontrol")) {
        //Good - will run no matter what alias was typed
    }
 
    if(label.equalsIgnoreCase("creativecontrol")) {
        //Bad - will only run if "creativecontrol" was the exact thing typed
    }
}

I'm talking about label, not cmd. Sorry if I didn't explain that properly.

 

Regablith Don't check the label. Then the entire point of defining aliases in the plugin.yml is completely gone.

 

Okay, I understand now. Thank you.

 

Aha! Indentation problem, by default, netbeans uses 4 spaces for yml, plugin.yml uses only 2 spaces, dont know why this became a problem just with the aliases, as the command works just fine... nor even why just started happening now... anyway, problem solved.
