How to exempt players with all permissions to not have a certain permission?

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is make a prefix/suffix plugin right now. I am trying to make it so owners (me) or players with all permissions (*) be exempt from the prefix/suffix's meaning not have the prefix or suffix?

CODE:

Code:java

package me.perezhd.prefixsuffix;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
    public void onEnable(){
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){       
        if(event.getPlayer().hasPermission("chat.normal")){
            event.setFormat(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "%s" + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + " > " + ChatColor.GREEN + "%s");
        }
    }
}

 

Use if(!player.hasPermission("perm"){
//if they dont have the permission do this.
}

 

But the permission * means all permissions, so wouldn't players with all permissions be able to have the prefix/suffix though still?

 

You can check if they are op or not? Or hook into pex and see if they are owner/some rank?

 

PerezHD Have you tried it? Try before asking.

 

Eh I will, I just know that players will still be able to have that permission. But I have a feeling it won't due to the (!)

 

Like I said before check if they are op. PEX and some permissions plugin assign those with * OP by default I believe.

 

Ill try, and I am also using groupmanager ;/

Ok, I fixed it. I did not need to do anything you guys said XD, I just did

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        String chatFormat = event.getFormat();
        if ((chatFormat.contains(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "%s" + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + " > " + ChatColor.GREEN + "%s")) && (player.hasPermission("flexrank.exempt"))){
            event.setFormat(event.getFormat().replace(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "%s" + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + " > " + ChatColor.GREEN + "%s", ""));
 
            return;
        }
        if (chatFormat.contains(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "%s" + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + " > " + ChatColor.GREEN + "%s")){
        }
        if (player.hasPermission("flexrank.exempt")){
            event.setFormat(event.getFormat().replace(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "%s" + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + " > " + ChatColor.GREEN + "%s", ""));
 
            return;
        }
 
        if (player.hasPermission("flexrank.test")){
            event.setFormat(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "%s" + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + " > " + ChatColor.GREEN + "%s");
        }
    }
}

Which is basically exempting the players with all perms not to have the prefix/suffix.
