Solved See WHENEVER a message appears in chat.

I want to make a plugin where it adds a time stamp to every chat message. Even when a plugin uses Bukkit.broadcastMessage().

 

@bowlerguy66 Kind of impossible unless you modify CB itself. You could use ProtocolLib to intercept messages going to clients but its not guaranteed that the Bukkit.broadcastMessage() was called.

 

@teej107 Okay D: Thanks though!

 

@bowlerguy66 You could check to see if the same message is going to every player with ProtocolLib. Again, it won't guarantee that the method was called but it'll be the same effect.

 

Couldn't you just intercept the player chat event, get the players name and the message typed, cancel the event, then broadcast that info w/ a timestamp?

 

@Whoneedspacee This has nothing to do with player's chat. It's sending messages to players; specifically with the broadcastMessage method.

 

Well It seems like he wants to put timestamps next to players messages, so doing what I said would work.
