Broadcasting

what's the code for broadcasting to all online players?

 

Use the Javadocs or the forum search before posting: http://jd.bukkit.org/doxygen/db/dc0/classorg_1_1bukkit_1_1Bukkit.html

 

I have done that, but on the JavaDocs I don't know wich one it is and on the forums I didn't find anything.

 

There's only two methods starting with broadcast, one which only takes a String 'message' as argument, and one which takes 2 Strings, 'message' and 'permission'. It shouldn't be too difficult to figure out which one to use

 

Njol
Out of curiosity, would there be anything wrong with using the following method instead:

Code:

for(Player plr : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    //check permissions and such
    p.sendMessage("BROADCAST");
}

This what I have always used because I feel it gives me better control.
(Also that broadcastMessage() likes to throw errors on my server for no reason...)

 

It should do the same, except that the console doesn't recieve the message as well as you only send it to players.
