Adding more than 1 prefix w/ PEX API

G'day

I need some help with setting players prefixes. Currently, it works, but it replaces prefixes - doesn't add.
For example lets say I want a player to have VIP and VIP+. At the moment, it only shows one prefix. How could I make it so it shows both prefixes?


I'm checking if the player has permission:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onChatFormat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();


        //default
        event.setFormat(ChatColor.GRAY + "%s" + " \u00BB " + "%s");

        //donor
        if(player.hasPermission("vip.chat")){
            event.setFormat(ChatColor.GREEN + "*" + ChatColor.GRAY + "%s" + " \u00BB " + "%s");

        }

        if(player.hasPermission("vip.plus.chat")){
            event.setFormat(ChatColor.AQUA + "*" + ChatColor.GRAY + "%s" + " \u00BB " + "%s");

        }

Here is the command (quickly put together, please ignore the slack:

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("rank")){
            if(args.length < 2){

                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "No");

            }

            if(args.length == 3){
                Player tplayer = player.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                String set_remove = args[1];
                String group = args[2];
                if(set_remove.contains("+")) {
                    PermissionGroup[] groups = {PermissionsEx.getPermissionManager().getGroup(group)};
                    PermissionsEx.getUser(tplayer).setGroups(groups);
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Ranks updated.");
                } else if(set_remove.contains("-")){
                    PermissionGroup[] groups = {PermissionsEx.getPermissionManager().getGroup(group)};
                    PermissionsEx.getUser(tplayer).removeGroup(group);
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Rank updated.");

                }
            }
        }

I'm using PEX API if that helps, thanks!

Probably something silly

 

@N0neoFtheLess You want it when a player has vip+ it will show vip and vip+? Just change the prefix for vip+ to "vip - vip+" (or which format you want)

 

Show both, for example;

VIP = * (green)
VIP+ = * (Aqua)

I want it to show:
**Administrafer: Hello
(two asterisks are VIP and VIP+)

At the moment it only shows one.

 

@N0neoFtheLess
Change your prefix for vip+ to **, instead of one *.

 

I want them to be seperate, so the ranks just keep piling up. To help, let's edit theranks;

- mod
- admin
- vip


Someone donates (VIP) and is moderator. I want them to have both prefixes present, I believe this is called the ladder system in PEX? (Correct me if I'm wrong). Then they get admin, so it replaces mod but keeps the VIP rank. I can show you screenshots of I what I want it to look like in-game (if it's easier).

 

I presume it's impossible, then? In that case how would I create rank ladders (I guess that also will help my situation)?

 

After some help from an external source I fixed my issue - solved.
