[Solved] Send message to all users

I am new to plugin development and was wondering how to send a global message, like to all players online. I also would like to know how to add color(s) to the message. Thanks in advance

 

Code:

Server.broadcastMessage("$4Message");

Color codes can be found here:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Classic_server_protocol#Color_Codes

 

Server server = Bukkit.getServer();
server.broadcastMessage("blah");

 

Using

Code:

Server.broadcastMessage("$4Message");

just shows $4Message in chat, not the color.

Another question, I am making a chat bot so it responds to user messages. When I use Server.broadcastMessage() it shows up before what the user says. How would I make it show up after?

 

use Server.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.Red + "message");

didn't try but i guess put a new task up should show it up after the event:

Code:

                            Server.getScheduler().scheduleAsyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable() {

                                @Override
                                public void run() {
                                    Server.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.Red + "message");

                                }
                            });

 

You missed a ) on the first line.

I'd suggest using Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.RED + "This is red" + ChatColor.GREEN + "This is green, etc.");

instead of creating a new instance of the server, to save on ram (especially if you're only going to need ONE instance of server)

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

hm nope there is nothing missing and he doesnt create a new instance of server... he just creates a pointer to the server object

 

You're right. I shouldn't be doing this when I'm tired. xD

 

Sorry, I am still confused. Could you please show me how to implement a delayed colored broadcast where it shows in the code? I am fairly new to java as well. This is my player listener class.

Code:

package me.drampelt.daisy.listeners;


import java.awt.Color;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Server;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerListener;

import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerChatEvent;

import me.drampelt.daisy.Daisy;


public class Listener_Player extends PlayerListener {
	private Daisy plugin;
	Server server = Bukkit.getServer();
	public Listener_Player(Daisy plugin){
		this.plugin = plugin;
	}

	@Override
	public void onPlayerChat(PlayerChatEvent event){
		String msg = event.getMessage();
		Player p = event.getPlayer();
		if(msg.equalsIgnoreCase("hello")){
			//say colored message here but delayed
		} else {
			server.broadcastMessage("blah");
		}
	}


}

 

Code:

package me.drampelt.daisy.listeners;


import java.awt.Color;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Server;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerListener;

import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerChatEvent;

import me.drampelt.daisy.Daisy;


public class Listener_Player extends PlayerListener {
	private Daisy plugin;
	Server server = Bukkit.getServer();
	public Listener_Player(Daisy plugin){
		this.plugin = plugin;
	}

	@Override
	public void onPlayerChat(PlayerChatEvent event){
		String msg = event.getMessage();
		Player p = event.getPlayer();
		if(msg.equalsIgnoreCase("hello")){
                            plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
@Override
 public void run() {
plugin.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.Red + "message");                                  }                             });
		} else {
			server.broadcastMessage("blah");
		}
	}


}

 

Thanks
