Why doesn't this method work?

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
		PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
		this.log.info(pdfFile.getName() + " v" + pdfFile.getVersion() + " is enabled");
		PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
		this.setupPermissions();
		Player[] onlinePlayers = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
		for(int counter = 0; counter <= onlinePlayers.length - 1; counter++) {
			setColor(onlinePlayers[counter]);
		}
		pm.registerEvents(new JoinListener(this), this);
	}
 
	public void setColor(Player player) {
		ArrayList<String> groups = new ArrayList<String>();
		String[] groupsArray = permission.getPlayerGroups(player);
		for(int counter = 0; counter <= permission.getPlayerGroups(player).length - 1; counter++) {
			groups.add(groupsArray[counter]);
		}
		if(groups.contains("Owner")) {
			player.setPlayerListName(ChatColor.AQUA.ITALIC + player.getName());
		} else if(groups.contains("Admin")) {
			player.setPlayerListName(ChatColor.RED.ITALIC + player.getName());
		} else if(groups.contains("Moderator")) {
			player.setPlayerListName(ChatColor.BLUE.ITALIC + player.getName());
		} else if(groups.contains("Member")) {
			player.setPlayerListName(ChatColor.GREEN + player.getName());
		} else {
			player.setPlayerListName(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + player.getName());
		}
	}
 

I know that all the methods are being run through. I debugged with sendMessage() methods.

Be more specific. Tell us what you want the method to do, what it is doing, and if it gives you any errors.

 

I want it to change my player name to one of those colors. It doesn't give errors. I used the player parameter to test whether the setColor method was running and being referred to me (the player). It sent me a message when I put the test sendMessage in the code. So I know that the code is getting the players, but not actually changing color like it's supposed to.

 

You don't use setPlayerListName() for what you're trying to do, you use setDisplayName().
