ChatColor

So I want it where people can have color codes in their chat. But, I am not able to use a .replace with a string and ChatColor in it. Plz help! Thx.

(Here's the code)

Code:

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerQuitEvent;
 
public class ZAFPlayerListner implements Listener{
    public static ZAFPlayerListner plugin;
 
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.WHITE + player.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.YELLOW  + " joined ZAF Server!");
        event.setJoinMessage("");
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerQuit(PlayerQuitEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.WHITE + player.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.YELLOW + " left ZAF Server.");
     
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event1){
        Player player = event1.getPlayer();
        //EDIT: Here's the part thats bugging me
        if(event1.getMessage().replace("&0", ChatColor.BLACK)));
    }
 
 
}

 

use the static method ChatColor.transpalteAlternateColorCodes(char,string)
the char is in your case '&' and the string is the message

 

To expand on what Terradominik said,

event.setMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', event.getMessage()));

would color all messages by everyone - You'd want to add some perms support also.

 

Thx guys so much!
