Sending Messages with WordWrap [TUTORIAL]

Hi guys,

This was always a stickler for me. I used to just debug / test the plugin until I got the text to be formatted the way I wanted (by just using sendMessage() for each line.) Then I decided I would stand up against this bad coding practice D: I created a method that allows you to send a long string of text with wordwrap. If a word is too long, it snaps to the next line, making your job much easier

Code:

// assume 'name' is the name of the player ._.
public void sendWrapped(String msg, ChatColor cc) {
String[] msgSplit = msg.split(" ");
String built = "";
for (int i = 0; i < msgSplit.length; i++) {
if ((built + " " + msgSplit[i]).length() > 60 || msgSplit[i].contains("\n")) {
Bukkit.getPlayer(name).sendMessage(cc + built);
built = "";
}
built += " " + msgSplit[i];
built = built.trim();
}
if (built != "")
Bukkit.getPlayer(name).sendMessage(cc + built);
}

 

Amazing

 

Thanks
