MariusAlexanderWinsjansen (I cant believe i typed that name, its too long! ) Heres an example of the onCommand handler:

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
    Player player = null;
    if (sender instanceof Player) {
        player = (Player) sender;
    }
   
    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mycmd")){
        if(args.length == 0){
            //do something this is root command
            return true;
        }
        if(args.length > 0){ //check to see if there were sub commands
           
            if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("test")){
   
              //sub command for /mycmd test
   
            } else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("test2")) {
                if(player != null){
                    //player only sub command - /mycmd test2
                }
        } else {
                //return a message like 'Sorry that sub command does not exist'
            return false;
        }
    }
}

 

You'd probably check the number of arguemets first. Then you'd use an if statement to check what arg[1] is.

This is sudo code, don't try to copy it:

If (arg[1] is "joke")
{Tell Joke}
Else if (arg[1] is "story")
{Tell story.}
etc.


EDIT: I was too slow. The post above gave you the actual code.

 

Possibly something along the lines of:

Code:java

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("tell")){
    if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("joke")){
     //Haha funny man here
    }
    else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("story")){
               // Insert bed time story here
    }
    else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("something")){
              // Insert something here
   }
}

The main focus really is that to get the first thing after the initial command is referred to as args[0].
And so if you wanted to expand on that, you could also check if args[1] equals something, and so on.

Hi, again,

I just have a guestion for the expanded args, so if i want to say "/tell story short"

It should tell a short story, not just a noral story you get buy typing "/tell story"

When i try this, it ends up whit just telling me the normal story! Here is my code:

Code:

        if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("tell")){
            if(args.length == 0){
            player.sendMessage("You Have To Type /tell story");
            }else if(args[0].equelsIgnoreCase("story")){
            player.sendMessage("Once Upon A Time..");
            }else if(args[0].equelsIgnoreCase("story")){
            if(args[1].eguelsIgnoreCase("short")){
            player.sendMessage("Once Upon A Time.. In A Far Of Land");
            }else if{
            player.sendMessage("dude, you typed something wrong");
            }
        }
    }

Hope you can help me!

probably due to languages or whatever, but i changed the spelling of equelsIgnoreCase to equalsIgnoreCase

Code:java

if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("tell")) {
 
Player player = (Player) sender;
 
if (args.length == 0) {
player.sendMessage("You Have To Type /tell story");
}
if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("story")) {
if (args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("short")) {
player.sendMessage("Once Upon A Time.. In A Far Of Land");
}
else {
player.sendMessage("Once Upon A Time..");
}
}
else {
player.sendMessage("dude, you typed something wrong");
}
}

Try this, basically i checked that if their arg[0] is story, then after that i checked if args[1] was short, if it was then i would send them the short version, otherwise it would send them the other message

 

Thansk alot, again!! Worked for me!
