Help with setJoinMessage with the PlayerJoinEvent

Hello! I'm writing a small plugin for my server. I would like to change the yellow "<Player> joined the game" message. I tried using setJoinMessage with the event, but I still get the original message. Here is my code:

Code:java

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        if(player.isOp()) {
            //title and opmessage are declared at the beginnig of the class.
            event.setJoinMessage(title + opmessage + event.getPlayer() + " joined the server!");
        }else{
            event.setJoinMessage(title +  event.getPlayer() + " joined the server!");
        }
    }

Thanks!

Hi there, use this code right above the if statement

Code:java

event.setJoinMessage("");

 

Thanks a lot for this very quick answer! , but it still showing the classic message :/

 

Really?

Because this exact code works for me..

This is my code and it works well. Try and mess around with this

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void playerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        p.setHealth(0);
        e.setJoinMessage("");
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + p.getName() + ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + " has joined the game.");
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Hey there, " + ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + p.getName() + ChatColor.RED + " do /kits to get started.");
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "Hacking " + ChatColor.RED +  "is not allowed on our server, you will banned if caught hacking.");
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Now go out and start practicing your" + ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + " PvP " + ChatColor.RED + "Skills!");

Yup :/

Code:java

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        event.setJoinMessage("");
        if(player.isOp()) {
            //title and opmessage are declared at the beginnig of the class.
            event.setJoinMessage(title + opmessage + event.getPlayer() + " joined the server!");
        }else{
            event.setJoinMessage(title +  event.getPlayer() + " joined the server!");
        }
    }

And I get: MOMOTHEREAL joined the game.

Ok I'm gonna try with the code you gave...

Did you register the event?

 

Ohhhhhhhhh that's what i forgot to do!!! :3 Thanks a lot I will try right now!

 

MOMOTHEREAL you can change the message in your craftbukkit.jar:

- Open your craftbukkit.jar using WinRAR
- Go to 'assets\minecraft\lang\' and open "en_US.lang" with a program like Notepad++

Now you can change any message.
The joinmessage is line 146

 

Thanks a lot all of you guys, it's now working well!

Code:java

public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        event.setJoinMessage("");
        if(player.isOp()) {
            //title and opmessage are declared at the beginnig of the class.
            event.setJoinMessage(title + opmessage + player.getName() + " joined the server!");
        }else{
            event.setJoinMessage(title +  player.getName() + " joined the server!");
        }
    }

(Registered events)

 

That's right but you would have to change it with every craftbukkit update because you have a new jar file. The plugin will work with many different craftbukkit versions.

 

Also, I'm looking up for a PlayerDeathEvent, which doesn't seem to exist :3. Anyone?

 

It does? http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/event/entity/PlayerDeathEvent.html

 

Lol sorry, I didn't look up in the Entity events... thanks a lot!
