Local Chat.

I am trying to make a local chat plugin, i have tried a few things with the AsyncPlayerChatEvent but none have actually worked, if anyone could help me with some code i would be very grateful, so far this is what i have done, it doesnt work:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if (localchat.contains(player.getName())) {
List<Entity> near = player.getNearbyEntities(5, 5, 5);
for (Player p : getServer().getOnlinePlayers()){
if (near.contains(p)) {
event.setCancelled(true);
}
}
 
}
}

I also dont think canceling the event will work to well, as that would end up in the player not even saying it, would there be a way to only show the message for some people.

 

One option is to cancel the event, and then send a custom-made message to nearby players. Something like, "[LocalChat]PlayerName: message".

I would get rid of this part:

Code:

for (Player p : getServer().getOnlinePlayers()){
    if (near.contains(p)) {
        event.setCancelled(true);

Just replace that with a loop through all nearby entities.
