Custom Message Command.

I am wondering how you would edit the /msg command and add the /r command. I've been searching for a little while but I cant find it.

 

Could you be more specific about what you are trying to accomplish? Are you trying to configure Essentials, edit Essentials, or are you trying to make your own plugin with /msg and /r?

 

I am trying to make my own /msg and /r

 

Okay. First, make a public HashMap<String, String> that will store data about who the player has last messaged. For the /msg command, the code inside your onCommand method will look something like this:

Code:java

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("msg"){
    Player p = Bukkit.getPlayer(sender.getName());
    if(args.length < 2){
          p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Too few arguments");
          p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "/msg <player> <message>");
          return true;
    }
    if(Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]) == null){
          p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "That player is not online");
          return true;
    }
    String msg = "";
    for(String s : args){
          msg = msg + " " + s;
    }
    Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]).sendMessage(p.getName() + " -> me: " + msg.replaceFirst(" " + args[0], "");
    p.sendMessage("me -> " + args[0] + ": " + msg.replaceFirst(" " + args[0], "");
    YOUR_HASHMAP_NAME.put(p.getName(), args[0]);
    YOUR_HASHAMP_NAME.put(args[0], p.getName());
    return true;     
}

Next, for the /reply command, you will use the HashMap data created with the /msg command.

Code:java

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("r"){
    if(args.length < 1){
          p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Too few arguments.");
          p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "/r <message>");
          return true;
    }
    if(!YOUR_HASHMAP_NAME.containsKey(p.getName()){
          p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have anyone to reply to.");
          return true;
    }
    if(Bukkit.getPlayer(YOUR_HASHMAP_NAME.get(p.getName())) == null){
          p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "That player is not online.");
          return true;
    }
    String msg = "";
    for(String s : args){
          msg = msg + " " + args;
    }
    Bukkit.getPlayer(YOUR_HASHMAP_NAME.get(p.getName())).sendMessage(p.getName() + " -> me:" + msg);
    p.sendMessage("me -> " + YOUR_HASHMAP_NAME.get(p.getName()) + ":" + msg);
}

Then you can probably figure out how to edit those messages. Although I just gave you all the code you need for this, please go over it, research loops and HashMaps, and try to understand it before just using it. =)

 

I tried that but I got error's for GetPlayer and Put. Heres my code:

...Why is the HashMap an array list of blocks? It should be <String, String>. The first string is the player's name, then the next one is the last player they replied to. Change the HashMap to

Code:java

public final HashMap<String, String> hashmap = new HashMap<String, String>();

 

The plugin is working but I cant message anyone

 

Ehh if you can't message anyone than the plugin isn't working, lol.

 

BeefyPlays

Code:java

 if(((CommandSender) cmd).getName().equalsIgnoreCase("msg")){ ... }

What are you trying to do there? It seems you shoud learn a bit more about writing a plugin, or just read the wiki article about how to write an onCommand().

 

That was making the command /msg

 

Wrong. You try to cast cmd (of the type Command) to the type of a CommandSender.
It's like converting a Player into an Item. Simply doesn't work.

Try this and please read the wiki article: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial

Code:java

 if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("msg")){ ... }

 

BeefyPlays
Did you change the HashMap to <String, String> like I asked? The plugin should work even if you don't, but for the commands to do anything you need to change that. Just replace

Code:java

public final HashMap<Player, ArrayList<Block>> hashmap = new HashMap<Player, ArrayList<Block>>();

with

Code:java

public final HashMap<String, String> hashmap = new HashMap<String, String>();

and it should work fine.

 

Yep I've did that but it does not work. Also I get no errors in Eclipse and its loads fine

 

Watch this:

Don't waste our time​

Could you show me the plugin's code, and the error it creates in console if there is one?

And what is the problem with it? Does it throw an error when you use one of the commands?

 

Heres the error I get in console...
http://hastebin.com/qoyiqubibu.profile

 

Due to error, your plugin.yml mustt be invalid. Can you show it to us please?

 

Ok here is my plugin.yml

Code:

name: Message
version: V1.53
main: me.DrGamerYT.com.Main
author: Team Myste
description: This is a test plugin
 
commands:
    msg:
        usage: /<command>
        aliases: [message, sendmessage]
        description: Whisper to someone.
      r:
        usage: /<command>
        aliases: [message, reply]
        description: Reply to someone.

 

BeefyPlays This doesn't solve your problem, but why both commands have the same alias?

 

Oops sorry here is the new one

Code:

name: MineVoltz Test Plugin
version: V1.53
main: me.DrGamerYT.com.Main
author: Team Myste
description: This is a test plugin
 
commands:
    msg:
        usage: /<command>
        aliases: [msg, whispher]
        description: Whisper to someone.
      r:
        usage: /<command>
        aliases: [r, reply]
        description: Reply to someone

 

BeefyPlays Another question: What is the name of the JAR-Filf of this plugin? The error says that the plugin.yml of the "UHC 1.jar" is invalid.

 

UHC 1 Also, I think its a problem with
description: This is a test plugin

commands:
msg:
usage: /<command>
aliases: [msg, whispher]
description: Whisper to someone.
r:
usage: /<command>
aliases: [r, reply]
description: Reply to someone
NEW*** I Fixed the plugin.yml it was a spacing issue but when I type /msg or /r it just sends a message back saying /r or /msg

 

BeefyPlays

Code:java

if(((CommandSender) cmd).getName().equalsIgnoreCase("msg")){ ... }

this part is still wrong. you can not cast "CommandSender" to a Command.

Why you still didn't corrected this issue? i already mentioned it before.
Here is, how it should look like.

And please read the wiki article, how to write a plugin, espacially how to add commands: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial#Commands

Code:java

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("msg")){ ... }

 

When i try that I get an error and the plugin wont work.

 

BeefyPlays What error do you get?

Edit: I see, whats wrong
You just imported the wrong Command.
Instead of org.bukkit.Material.Command you need
org.bukkit.Command.Command (or similiar, don't know the exact import now, i'm online with my phone)

 

You can just use this to get what the command was:

Code:java

if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("msg"){}

I don't understand why people do it other ways. Isn't that the whole point of that part of the onCommand method?

 

BeefyPlays
You have to say more than "it didn't work". You have to tell us what didn't work (what happened), provide a stacktrace if applicable, and maybe give us an updated code. Otherwise we can't help you. Along the lines of what Th3Br1x was saying, you cast Player p to the player's name. That's wrong. That's like casting an apple to a banana. A name is a string, cast the player to a player.

 

Thank you all for helping! I've got the plugin working

Now I have a problem.... How do I override the normal minecraft /msg command
**NEW** Never mind I just used the @Override
