Broadcasting message [Multiple ways]

Hey! Here is a couple methods to broadcast:

Classical:

Code:

Bukkit.broadcastMessage(message);

This DOES broad to the console. To broadcast only to console, use Bukkit.getLogger().info("Sup console");

A bit more advance but very expandable (see bellow)

Code:

for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    player.sendMessage(message);
}

You can boardcast to people only if they have an item in their inventory or a permission:
Item:

Code:

for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    if(player.getInventory().contains(Material.DIAMOND){
        player.sendMessage(message);
    }
}

Permission:

Code:

for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    if(player.hasPermission("this.is.a.permission")){
        player.sendMessage(message);
    }
}

(For permission, you can also use Bukkit.broadcast(message, permission); )

 

CraftThatBlock What's the point of this? I think you can figure that out by yourself easily...

 

Useful for those new to bukkit...don't assume everybody has the same experience as you.

 

Garris0n There are many awesome tutorials out for upcoming devs, where you'll learn that stuff

 

Doesn't mean this hurts anybody by being posted. For all you know somebody will be searching in 5 minutes how to do this, find this thread, and realize how to broadcast, check inventories, and check permissions all in one.

 

This is meant for newer people to show that they have multiple options.

 

Thanks, I found this useful

 

Bukkit.broadcast("Message", "Some.Permission"); Does that not work for permissions?

 

It works with every permissions plugin except PermissionsEX, IIRC.
