Solved Colors

Hi, I was wondering how I can code a plugin to whenever I type like &6hi its ChatColor.GOLD and not just '&6hi'

 

@djscoobyg

Code:

ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "YOUR MESSAGE");

 

@djscoobyg '§6hi'
§ is the minecraft color code, it's Essentials that invented the & color code.

 

Where Do I put that, and if I type &6hi in chat normally, will it appear like that?

@DJSkepter Sorry, forgot to tag you, ^

 

@djscoobyg You use this method in your player chat event. Use it in here:

Code:

event.setMessage(ChatColor........... (event.getMessage()) 

.

(No worries, you quoted me. Quoting is the same as tagging - both of them give me a notification)

 

so does it go like this?

Code:

    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e) {
        e.setMessage(ChatColor.RED + translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "YOUR MESSAGE") (e.getMessage());

        }

 

@djscoobyg I can tell that you are a bit new to coding. Sorry for not making it clearer:

Code:

public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e) { 
    e.setMessage(ChatColor.RED + translateAlternateColorCodes('&', e.getMessage()); 
}

 

Hmm, I tried that and it still says &6hi, ill paste my main.java code please correct.

Code:

package me.ScooobyPvP.QualityKits;

import me.ScooobyPvP.QualityKits.Commands.help;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class main extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getCommand("help").setExecutor(new help());
        // This will throw a NullPointerException if you don't have the command defined in your plugin.yml file!
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e) {
       e.setMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', e.getMessage())); 
    }
}

 

@djscoobyg You are not a listener and are not registered

 

@Konato_K Wht u mean?

 

Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

 

OMG thankyou everyone, MOD YOU CAN CLOSE THIS NOW!
