Development Assistance Partial player name

Hello everyone,
I am currently coding a plugin which highlights online player names in chat. My event only toggles when a full player name has been given. For example, if someone types "Hello, metmad22!" The event will toggle. But if they type "Hello, metmad!" or "Hello, met!", the event does not trigger. I was wondering if anyone can help me put this in the event.
Currently, I check for

Code:

for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers())

as a player. It is only working if I mention the whole player name.

If someone could please tell me how I could do this in an AsyncPlayerChatEvent, I'll be very grateful.
Also, Merry Christmas to you all!

 

Code:java

String[] words = message.split(" ");
for (String s : words) {
  if (player.getName().toLowerCase().contains(s.toLowerCase())) {

 

@pie_flavor It doesn't seem to be working. Here is my code.

Code:

    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event)
    {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();

        String[] words = event.getMessage().split(" ");

        for(String string : words)
        {
            if(player.getName().toLowerCase().contains(string.toLowerCase()))
            {
                if(players.contains(player.getName()))
                {
                     String newMessage = event.getMessage().replaceAll(player.getName(), getConfig().getString("Player name color") + ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "") + player.getName() + "§f");
                      event.setMessage(newMessage);

                       player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.LEVEL_UP, 50.0F, 5.0F);
                       player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.FIZZ, 40.0F, 5.0F);
                }
                else
                {


                }

            }
        }
    }

 

Put on async chat event:

Code:java

String message = event.getMessage();
for(String word : message.split(" ")) {
    if(word.length() < 4) continue; // Ignore small words, i advice using this is you do contains check
    for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
        if(player.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(word) || player.getName().toLowercase().contains(world.toLowercase()) { // Use startswith for stricter checking
            message = message.replace(word, ChatColor.GREEN + word);
            break;
        }
    }
}

if a players name is yesyes
you dont want all emssages with yes to be highlighted
thats the problem you are running in to

 

actually the problem you are running into is that you have my code in the wrong spot. youre not supposed to be referencing string with e.gatPlayer(), you're supposed to be referencing it with the list of online players.

 

So far, I think i've fixed most issues possible. If I still run across one, I'll post it here. But thank you very much both of you! @pie_flavor @lenis0012
