Custom death messages?

Anyone know how to set custom death messages for different events? lava death, player killing player, fell?

 

Listen for PlayerDeathEvent and check if event.getCause == DamageCause.LAVA or something then use
event.setDeathMessage("");

 

CubixCoders Ok thanks! Bee-tee-dubs do you know how to set & color codes for chat and configuration files? Ive been trying to figure it out..

 

I believe it is
ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes("&", string);
So through the config, you would just have to do this
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes("&", getConfig().getString(yourpath)));

 

Or u can listen for death and do this:

Code:java

 
if(event.getDeathMessage().contains("hit the ground to hard")
{
event.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + event.getEntity() + ChatColor.GRAY + " fell a very long distance");
}
 

 

CubixCoders where would I put it?.. If possible can you show me a example in a whole code?... just a simple one..

david_rosales Ok thanks, if the other doesnt work, I'll always have your code xD

AppleMC

Code:java

 
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("clan")){
     if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("list")){
          for(String s: getConfig().getStringList("Clan.List")){
               sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.Blue + "The clans are: " + ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes("&", s));
          }
     }
}
 

That will check if they sent "clan" as their command, then if their arg is "list", then it will get a list from the config named Clan.List and then translate the codes to them

 

CubixCoders I mean players chatting with & codes, and can give me whole thing starting from @EventHandler for death message please?

 

Code:java

 
@EventHandler
public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e){
     if(e.getDeathMessage().contains("hit the ground")){
          e.setDeathMessage("Whatever");
     }
}
 

And for chatting

Code:java

 
@EventHandler
public void onTalk(PlayerChatEvent e){
     e.setMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes("&", e.getMessage()));
}
 

 

CubixCoders the color code is for ALL codes? 123456789abcdef

CubixCoders can you tell me whats wrong with this? sender is getting error

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
        if(e.getDeathMessage().contains("hit the ground too hard")) {
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + ChatColor.DARK_RED + " didn't see where he was going and fell off a cliff.")
        }

CubixCoders and the color code is giving me error at translateAlternativeColorCodes

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onTalk(PlayerChatEvent e){
        e.setMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes("&", e.getMessage()));
    }

Btw how do u insert java code so it looks like that xD

Code:java

 
 
        e.setMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', e.getMessage()));
 
 

There is no sender, you have to use Player player = e.getEntity();
And for the cool writing use (syntax=java) (/syntax) but replace () with []

 

@CubixCodes thanks, but im getting this thing with yellow line saying add supression and stuff for translatecodes

 

It doesn't matter Go ahead and add it if you want

 

@CubixCodes OMG THANK YOU they all work, does color code work for configuration files? Also how would I use config file for death message? and color code &k does it to my name too, possible to change?

 

just change the string you set it to, to plugin.getConfig().getString(path);

 

CubixCoders but if I use the & codes for message, does it show up with color ? and when i use &k, &l it changes my name too any way to stop that?

 

Code:java

 
 @EventHandler
    public void onTalk(PlayerChatEvent e){
        e.setMessage(e.getPlayer().getDisplayName() + ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes("&", e.getMessage()));
    }
 

 

CubixCoders lets say i have config lava death: &4died from lava. does that show as DARK_RED died from lava?
and the alternativeTranslateColor is getting error for the new one..

@CubixCodes i fixed the error but it shows my name twice when msging with color now..

Sorry, i keep doing "&" it's '&', then if you get rid of the event.getPlayer().getDisplayName() isn't that what your old prblem was?

 

CubixCoders i mean it shows name but if i use &k and &l it does random / bold to my name too

 

Try
player.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE + player.getDisplayName());
But that will automatically set it to white no matter what

 

CubixCoders thanks :3 but the death messages arent working with config..

 

You have to get the message from the config and translate the codes

 

CubixCoders I tried without the & codes from config but didnt work..

 

Show code please

 

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
if(e.getDeathMessage().contains("hit the ground too hard")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("drowned")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("swim in lava")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("struck by lightning")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("blew up") || e.getDeathMessage().contains("blown up")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("went up in flames") || e.getDeathMessage().contains("burned to death")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("shot")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("pricked to death") || e.getDeathMessage().contains("walked into a cactus")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("falling anvil")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("starved")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("suffocated in")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("was killed while trying")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} else if (e.getDeathMessage().contains("fell out of the world")) {
Player player = e.getEntity();
e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + " " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
} 

LOL first time using - fail... and do u know how to set up alias commands in plugin.yml? alias: [alias] isnt workign for me

 

Code:java

 
ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', plugin.getConfig().getString("Lava death"));
 

 

CubixCoders I tried just without the & code though, chatcolor already in code and just message, it gave error... do u know how to set alias for command? i tried alias: [alias] didnt work..

 

You didn't translate the codes from the config, and does the String "Lava death" exist in the config? and sorry idk about alias's D:

 

CubixCoders yeah i have Lava death in my config file.. :/
