[Help] Config variables!

Hey I just want to add to my plugin that it's possible to define in the config the join and quit message.
So I want that in the config %player% means p.getName();
How would I do this?
I tried already 'String.replace("%player%", p.getName());' but it doesn't work!

Thanks

 

Post your config and relevant code please.

Code:java

FileConfiguration cfg = this.getConfig();
 
JoinEvent...
 
Player p = e.getPlayer();
 
String joinmsg = cfg.getString("JoinMesssage");
ChatColor.translateAlternativeColors('&', joinmsg);
joinmsg.replace("%player%", p.getName());
 
 

Doesn't work..

Bumb!

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

 

do joinmsg = joinmsg.replace("%players%", p.getName()); instead

Btw only bump once every 24h!

 

Minesuchtiiii Strings are immutable. Any operation performed on a string will NOT change it. It will merely return a new String.

So what should I change?

Solved it on my own (or not?)

Code:java

      String quitmsg = cfg.getString("QuitMessage");
      quitmsg = defaultReplace(p, quitmsg);
      ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', quitmsg);
      quitmsg = quitmsg.replace('&', '§');
      quitmsg = quitmsg.replace("%player%", p.getName());
 
          e.setQuitMessage(quitmsg);

Works perfect!

Why are you trying to translateAlternateColorCode and after that change & to §?

translateAlternateColorCodes returns a string so that line should look like quitmsg = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', quitmsg);

if you replace & with § you might replace stuff like "Hello & Goodbye" better to just use translateAlternateColorCodes.
