BukkitPerms help?

So I'm a bit stuck, trying to work out how to use BukkitPerms properly.

Say I have a chat plugin, and want only people with permission to talk, then I use a "player.hasPermission("mychatplugin.chat")" in a player listener, that's fairly simple, but... what if I want that to default to true (anyone being able to chat), if the server is not using permissions at all, but default to false if the server is using permissions, but that player doesn't have the node...?


Server using permissions > Player has permission node > Allowed to chat
Server using permissions > Player doesn't have permission node > Not allowed to chat
Server not using permissions > Player doesn't have permission node (Obviously) > Allowed to chat


If anyone can understand this post, Congrats, and if anyone can tell me I'm missing something really simple, Thank you!

 

You shouldn't be trying to set two different defaults based on whether they have permissions or not. It doesn't matter. Just set one default that applies for everyone. If a server has a permissions plugin, they can change from the defaults.

 

@nisovin Hmmm, seems like more work for server admins, needing to enter even the nodes they don't want the user/group to have.

But, I suppose that will work... Thanks.
