Send command to server?

I want my plugin to send a give command to the server, how can I do this?

 

There are a few ways that you can go about this:

1. you can use a playerPickUpItemEvent and set the item to whatever you want to give.
2. you could search the players inventory for an open space and put an item there
3. you could change whatever the player is holding to the item(I wouldn't suggest this it could be dangerous however it is the easiest way in my opinion)

 

Hm, I want it so the item will drop, so the player will get the item even if they dont have a free inventory space
(which the only way to do this I know of is give).

 

You could try to use a ServerCommandEvent.(I have no clue how to use it, all i know is that it sends a command through the console.) The format is:

Code:

ServerCommandEvent(ConloleCommandSender console, String message)

 

I was thinking about using this...

Code:

plugin.getServer().dispatchCommand(sender, "give blah 1 64");

But the variable sender needs to be a CommandSender (which I don't know how to use/make).

 

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("give")){\\or whatever you want the command to be
plugin.getServer().dispatchCommand(sender, "give blah 1 64");
}

This is the best way i know how

 

Aha I figured out how to do it myself!

Here's the code for anyone else wanting to know (it works flawlessly)...

Code:

		CommandSender cs = new ConsoleCommandSender(this.getServer());
		this.getServer().dispatchCommand(cs, "give blah 1 64");

Obviously you can add any other command in there if you want too. <3 Bukkit

EDIT: In 1.8 you have to use this code

Code:

this.getServer().dispatchCommand(this.getServer().getConsoleSender(), "command here");

 

You might be able to cast a player to sender also; haven't tried this though.

 

You can, but then if the player doesn't have the correct permissions, it wont work. That's why I had to use ConsoleCommandSender because it has all permissions (or that's what I think...).
