                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "[" + this.getConfig().getString("Prefix") + "] " + ChatColor.GOLD + ChatColor.GOLD + this.getConfig().getString("Broadcast", "donate.broadcast"));
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED +"Broadcast Successful");
                }else{
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "You Have Insufficient Permissions To Perform This Command!");
            }
    }

Thanks Guys, I Really Apprecite Your Help

 

If you set the permission in the second argurment in the method...

Code:java

Bukkit.broadcast(MESSAGE, PERMISSION);

Then anyone with that permission node will be able to view the message, but if they don't have the set permission node (in your case you've set it to "donate.mod"), they can't perform the command.

I'd suggest try using this code:

Code:java

else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("broadcast")) {
            if(!sender.hasPermission("donate.mod")){//if they don't have permission...
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "You have insufficient permissions to perform this command!");
                return true;
            }
            Bukkit.broadcast("INSERT MESSAGE HERE", "INSERT PERMISSION HERE");//if they do.
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Broadcast successful!");
        }

 

If you scroll over on the Bukkit.broadcast, You can see at the end of my Config line , Ive placed a seperate permission for this, But it does not work, Is this permission set in the correct spot ?

Code:

Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "[" + this.getConfig().getString("Prefix") + "] " + ChatColor.GOLD + ChatColor.GOLD + this.getConfig().getString("Broadcast", "donate.broadcast"));

At the end , you see "Donate.broadcast"

 

@Jason Malouin And? That's what your code does. If you meant to make that the permission, then you need to do a comma not a plus. (, not +)

 

In your code, you're using...

Code:java

Bukkit.broadcastMESSAGE[...]

You should be using just broadcast...

ex:

Code:java

Bukkit.broadcast(message, permission);

See my previous post, I edited it to make more sense.

 

Okay Thanks

Code:

            Bukkit.broadcast(ChatColor.GREEN + "[" + this.getConfig().getString("Prefix") + "] " + ChatColor.GOLD + ChatColor.GOLD + this.getConfig().getString("Broadcast"), "donate.broadcast");

I'm Assuming That Would Be Better The Permission Being At The End

 

@Jason Malouin

Actually, the method calls for the permission to be at the end, but yes, you're now correct.

And if you're satisfied, please mark this thread as Solved.

 

I was just asking, If My changes would fix the issue

 

@Jason Malouin If you want to send the message to everyone, use broadcastMessage(String) instead.

 

If you're code matches either one of these, yes you're code should work just fine now.

Yes but he's trying to add a permission to it, so I suggested using the method:

Code:java

Bukkit.broadcast([...]);
