Broadcast message

Hi was wondering if some one could show me how
to create a custom broadcast message e.g /test [message]
broadcasts [message] this would be very helpful

 

EDIT:
well on your command /test [mesage]


and define a string for the [message] and store [message] there.
EXAMPLE:

Code:

String msg;//get the [message] in the command
for (Player p : world.getPlayers()){
            p.sendMessage(msg);
        }

and world needs to be defined.


-basically this gets all the players in the world and broadcasts a message to all of them.
hope this is what you are looking for
IF you need more help please ask me. ill be happy to help

 

PHP:

Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(msg);


 

so if i do this
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command,
String label, String[] args) {
if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("TEST")) {
Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(msg);

will that work

 

If you want something like /say use this:

Code:java

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cpmmand, String label, String[] args) {
      if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
           for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                   Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(args[i]);
                   return true;
           }
      }
}[/i]

 

1 prob
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cpmmand, String label, String[] args){
if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(args);
return true;}
}
} <------- [ERROR]
}[/I]

 

Problem:

1. How many open brackets( { ) do you have? (you have 3 open brackets)
2. How many close brackets ( } ) do you have? (you have 4 close brackets)

Solution:

1. Delete the close bracket after the return true; OR
2. delete the bracket that it says has the error

 

Thats still helpful but is there a way i can customize what the broadcast looks like instead of [server]

 

It doesn't have the [Server].

 

i still have 1 prob
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cpmmand, String label, String[] args){
if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(args);
return true;}
}
} <------- [ERROR]
}[/I]

Please Help

As mentioned above

If you have extra brackets, just remove them.

 

Didint work that just gives me like 5 errors

 

Saying you have 5 errors? Unhelpfull
Saying what those errors are? Helpfull
Learning Java? Priceless

 

They are all Syntax error

 

Thats like saying "Help, I have a spelling mistake somewhere in this 42 page file!"

I don't have a crystal ball, you need to be more specific.

 

look no matter how much i try im not gona get the broadcast thing to work

 

I'm not saying give up. I'm just trying to get you to post actual error messages and info so others can help.

If you posted the exact error & your code I might be able to do something, but I can't guess at what I can't see.

Note: You should use

Code:

[syntax=java][/syntax]

to post java code to preserve/show line numbers. (Makes it much easier to read on the forum.)

 

Code:

package xDUBSTEPx.Test;

import java.util.logging.Logger;
  
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.PlayerInventory;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
public class Test extends JavaPlugin {

    public static Test plugin;
    public static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
 
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    private Object player;
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    private ChatColor message;
    private Logger command;
 
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
  
        log.info("[Test] Plugin enabled.");
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        log.info("[Test] Plugin disabled.");
    }
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cpmmand, String label, String[] args) {
        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
             for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                     Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(args[i]);
                     return true;
             }
        }
  }[/i]

theres my code happy now

And what are the errors? What lines are the errors on? Whats with the [/i] at the end of the file?

I don't mean to offend and I'm not trying to upset you but it seems to be a struggle to get "Here's what I have; Here's whats wrong; How do I fix it?"

 

I Have The [/i] on the end because of

any ways that code didint work

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

1. Get rid of the [/i], it doesn't belong. (It's most likely the forum's attempt to preserve formatting.)
2. Post specific errors!!!

 

Ok This is what i have

Code:

public boolean onCommand1(CommandSender sender, Command cpmmand, String label, String[] args) {
              if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
                   for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                           Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(args[i]);
                           return true;
                   }
                   }
              } <------
        }[/i]

1.my 1 error is this Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody

 

1. It should be onCommand( instead of onCommand1(
2. [/i] does not belong
3. That last } matches the { for onCommand, but you still need one to complete the class block; add one } to the end of your file.

 

I fixed it i added a return statement

 

@xDUBSTEPx Just a little suggestion: Watch some Java tutorials or read a book about Java.
It might help you with silly fails like thinking that [/i] is Java code

 

Crap the command dont work it says nothing
when i type /test fgdsfgdsfg

 

Make sure the command is in plugin.yml:
http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial#Adding_your_Command_to_the_Plugin.yml

(I'm assuming there were no errors; just that nothing happened)

 

yer no errors but nothing happend

Code:

name: Test
main: xDUBSTEPx.Test.Test
version: 1.0
author: xDUBSTEPx
commands:
    help:
        Description: Plugin commands.
        Usage: |
            /help
    test:
        Description: Plugin commands.
        Usage: |
            /test

And This Is My Main Code

Code:

public boolean onCommand1(CommandSender sender, Command cpmmand, String label, String[] args) {
              if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
                   for (int i = 0; i < args.length;) {
                           Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(args[i]);
                           return true;
                   }
                   }
            return false;
              }
        }

yer
