getMessage() and setMessage()

how do you use these? i tryed String playermessage = getMessage(); but it didnt work thanks for your help also setMessage("hello"); had an error

 

player.sendmessage("Hey there!");

 

If you want to read the message from a chat event you need to do something like event.getMessage();

 

You would have to use in a chatevent

Code:

public void onPlayerChatEvent(PlayerChatEvent event) {
    String msg = event.getMessage(); // to store the message in a string
    event.setMessage(msg); // Replace msg with whatever you want the player to actually send
}

I haven't tested setMessage() myself but I believe that's how it works. On top of the above code, you'll need to import org.bukkit.event.Player.PlayerChatEvent, and register the event in order to catch when a player has sent a message.

 

that worked (well no errors in eclipse) thanks
