Sending a player a message?

I can get this to work when I have the Player object 'player' from something such as CommandSender, but how would I send the player a message in this method?

Code:

    private void sendPlayerMessage(String message) {

        Player player = PlayerEvent.getPlayer(); //THIS BIT DOESN'T WORK, how can I make it so that it does?
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + message);

    }

 

The problem is that without a defined event the getPlayer method will return null.
You need to use an event or some other way of getting the player, not using an undefined variable.

PHP:

public void sendPlayerMessage(Player reciever, String message) {

        Player player = reciever;
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + message);

    }

Now you can use the method in your listeners and your main class.

 

Thanks, but how do I get that to work? I still cant get the player, so how will I use it as the arguement? Here's the code for this section so far.

Code:

    public void blockCounterAdd()
    {
        blocksPlaced++;
        if(blocksPlaced == 10)
        {
            sendPlayerMessage("You have placed more than 10 blocks this session!");
        }
    }

    public void sendPlayerMessage(Player reciever, String message) {

        Player player = Reciever;
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + message);

    }
}

 

Code:

sendPlayerMessage("You have placed more than 10 blocks this session!");

If you want to do that check you must already have a blockListener right ?

So you must do something like this:

Code:

public class MoneyBukkitBlockListener extends BlockListener {

    @Override
    public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
       Player player = event.getPlayer();
       sendPlayerMessage(player,"You have placed more than 10 blocks this session!");
    }

}

but you don't really need to make that method you can just do:

Code:

player.sendMessage("You have placed more than 10 blocks this session!");

 

So when i'm calling

Code:

sendPlayerMessage("You have placed more than 10 blocks this session!");

What do I use as the first argument? For the Player reciever?

 

Sorry I had to edit my post. take a look at it again

 

Ah, get it. Realised that I needed to place the code in the onBlockPlace method.

Thanks.
