Solved Chat Blocking

Is it possible to block the chat from view for a specific player?

Then, is it possible that if a player says a special player's name in chat (or part of their name), it'll send them a message?

Thanks,

You can cancel the event, and use sendMessage(event.getMessage()) to players who should get the message.

Yes, vut how do I get the EXACT message? Plus my plugin shod also be conpatible with chatrooms

 

JHG0 I think maybe something with the AsyncPlayerChatEvent, as according to the javadocs, it fires for plugins as well.

Looked this up myself, here is what I found. Since there is no event called on receiving a message or global chat, here would be another alternative, taken from a post by @Mitsugaru

Code:java

public void chatEvent(final PlayerChatEvent event) {
    final Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(nameOfPlayerToRemove);
    event.getRecipients().remove(target);
}

Thanks, who would nameOfPlayer...be?

Also, how do I get a list of player's in the hashmap and cycle through them for target?

 

Axe2760 I don't think cancelling and sending the message would work, becuase it wouldn't show the players name and stuff.

Any idea abt he hashmaps above?

 

Why would you need to use hashmaps, just add a command like /mutechat [player] which uses the argument as the name of a player.

I am going to sleep now and won't be answering further questions till tomorrow, Thanks

 

JHG0 Okay. Heres my idea. Use the player chat event. By defualt, block it, and send the player the message(Use the player.chat becuase of what Is aid before)

Code:java

public void onTalk(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
event.setCancelled(true);
event.getPlayer().chat(event.getMessage());
}

Then use a Hashmap, with the key being the player who did /block, and the value being the one who is blocked.

Code:java

HashMap<String, String> blocked = new HashMap<String, String>();

Then do the rest

Confused

I want it to block chat for every player that types the command /silence

I got almost everything else so far...just wanna know how to get every player out of an areay lost and cycle through them

 

Code:

//for ArrayList
Iterator<String> it = stringarray.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()){
  String name = it.next();
  //insert code
}

//for HashMap
Iterator<Set<String>> it = hash.keySet().iterator();
//same thing

 

Axe2760
Thanks...
Would you by any chance know how if a player /msg-s a certain player it will stop the event?

 

Try the PlayerCommandPreProcessEvent, I'm looking at the jd for it ATM. It has a method getRecipients(), not sure if this will work. If not,

Pseudo code:

Code:

 
on PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent event:
  String[] words = event.getMessage().split(" ");
  if (words.length >=3){
    if (words[0].equalsIgnoreCase("/msg") && whitelist.contains(words[1])){
      //send message
    }
    else if (words[0].equalsIgnoreCase("/msg") && !whitelist.contains(words[1])){
      event.setCancelled(true);
    }
  }

However as it is case sensitive, I recommend using .toLowerCase() when putting/getting/seeing if names are in the whitelist.

What is wrong with this?
It won't silence the chat...

Code:java

//EventHandler
    @EventHandler
    public void chatEvent(final PlayerChatEvent e){
        //Player chatter = e.getPlayer();
        int i = 0;
        int isLength = isS.size();
        while(i < isLength){
            Player sPlayer = isS.get(i);
            e.getRecipients().remove(sPlayer);
            i++;
        }
    }
 
//onCommand
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd,
            String commandLabel, String[] args) {
        if (commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("silence")) {
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            if (player.hasPermission(new Permissions().All)
                    || player.hasPermission(new Permissions().Silence)) {
                if(isS.contains(player.getName())){
                    isS.remove(player);
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.GRAY
                            + "Silence" + ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "] "
                            + ChatColor.GRAY + "Your chat has now been un-silenced!");
                } else {
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.GRAY
                            + "Silence" + ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "] "
                            + ChatColor.GRAY + "Your chat has now been silenced!");
                    isS.add(player);
                }
            } else {
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.GRAY
                        + "Silence" + ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "] "
                        + ChatColor.GRAY + "You do not have permission to silence chat!");
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
 
//ArrayList
    ArrayList<Player> isS= new ArrayList<Player>();

 

You're using PlayerChatEvent, which is and has been deprecated since about 1.2.5. Use AsyncPlayerChatEvent.

Do you notice any other problems?

 

Sorry for a double post, but the edit button won't actually allow me to edit at this time.

On top of that, your event is doing it in an improper way.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onAsyncPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event)
{
  for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers())
  {
    if(isS.contains(p.getName())
    {
      event.getRecipients().remove(p);
    }
  }
}

Lastly, change your ArrayList<Player> to an ArrayList<String>, because of my signature. NEVER, EVER, STORE A PLAYER OBJECT IN A LIST/MAP/SET.

 

Drkmaster83

Thank you...would that all be why it wasn't working?

And can you also explain what the Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() does?


Forgot this...
Would you happen to know how to take p's name...convert it to the first 3 characters, then check if the message contains those characters?

JHG0

PHP:

e.setCancelled(true);
Set<Player> recipients = new HashSet<Player>();
for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    if(!isS.contains(p)){
        recipients.add(p);
    }
}
AsyncPlayerChatEvent event = new AsyncPlayerChatEvent(true, e.getPlayer(), e.getMessage(), recipients);
plugin.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(event);
recipients.clear();

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

 

The Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() in a for-loop is called a "for-each" loop. It allows you to use a single object variable to access a whole array of variables. "p" represents every online player.

String newString = p.getName().substring(0, 2); should work in taking the first 3 characters. If not, change the 2 to a 3, and yeah.

Code:

if(event.getMessage().split(" ").contains(newString))
{
  //Do something, preferably.
}

Err, not .contains(), but make a for-each loop using the event.getMessage().split(" ") as the array. Check if the String variable that you create in the for-each loop is equal to newString.

Hrmm?

Dark,

Thanks for fixing the main code, it works now

Drkmaster83

Wait so how should I do it?

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

 

What do you mean?

 

Drkmaster83

How would I check and see if the chat message contains the first 3-5 letters of a player's name and check if they (the mentioned player) are on the hashmap.

 

Bump

Can anyone help with the issue directly above this post?

JHG0
Loop through the names in map, and check if the message contains the index 3-5 of name from map.

 

Assist

The players are stored in a HashMap

 

Yeah, sorry. I edited my post just before you posted yours.

 

Assist

If you hang on a minute I'll post the code
I tried some things but am confused

Assist

Code:java

ArrayList<String> isS= new ArrayList<String>();
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onAsyncPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e){
        Player chatter = e.getPlayer();
        for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
            if((chatter.getName() == p.getName()) && isS.contains(p.getName())){
                isS.remove(p.getName());
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.GRAY
                        + "Silence" + ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "] "
                        + ChatColor.GRAY + "Your chat has now been un-silenced!");
            } else {
                if(isS.contains(p.getName())){
                    e.getRecipients().remove(p);
                }
            }
        }
    }

So, I want it to be if a PLAYER says the first three letters of a SILENCED player's name, it sends them a message...but if a STAFF (it'll just be permission based) says the first three letters of a SILENCED player's name, it sends the silenced player that message and un-mutes chat

You shouldn't compare strings with '=='. I'd just check if index 1-3 of 'p' name is equal to the event message, if so, I'd build the whole name with Bukkit.matchPlayer(string of index 1-3), and do stuff. I'll attempt to write some code for you later, it's really late here where I live.
