Help me With Plugin

Hello I am making a plugin that says welcome to the newest player who joined the server. the command is /wnp
every thing works but I don't know if its saying it globaly and its saying my player name please help me.
Again thanks,

Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(Message);

 

@pingpong1999 That is not what he asked for, please read the thread first...

@Beans54321 to say that, show us your code.

 

You think I didnt read the text in the first place? ofc I read it, that is what i got out of it. I'm sorry if I read it wrong but you can't just make the assumption that I didn't read it

 

@pingpong1999

How could you get this wrong? At least you read it not properly..

 

No how do I make it so that when a new player joins all of the outher players can do /wnp and then it will say welcome to the new player @pingpong1999 and @Lordloss

 

You need to store the player in a HashMap, and update the HashMap everytime a new player joins. Then upon executing the command "/wnp", find the most recently joined player through the HashMap and use that as a means of sending them a direct message, or including their name in a broadcast, whichever you want to do.

If you want to do this such that only new players who have never joined can have this welcome, then you'd need a way of tracking old users to recognize when a new user has joined, a config storing player UUIDs is probably your best shout.

 

ah, okay. I recommend doing what Caedus said. I did not understand your post. It was very unclear.

 

@Caedus @Beans54321

To Caedus last point:

To check if a player has played before you can use OfflinePlayer#hasPlayedBefore(). To get the first time they played, you should be able to use OfflinePlayer#getFirstPlayed(). There is also OfflinePlayer#getLastPlayed() but i don't know when that gets updated and if it is of any use for you. Just for the sake of completion

If the hasPlayedBefore() already returns true in the onLogin, you can check if getFirstPlayed() is nearly equal to the System time and if so he is new.

 

There are methods within the Player object. So if you have a player variable, player.hasPlayedBefore() etc...

 

So if I do that I shuld be good?

 

Yes
