Send a chat message as the player

[onlyhtml]

I'm looking for a way to send a chat message as the player would when he presses "t". I'm not looking to send a message to the player, I'm looking to send a message AS the player. Please don't suggest player.sendChatToPlayer or player.addChatMessage. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks!

If you are trying to tell ALL the people on the server (like a fake chat message), cycle through all the players and have a translatable message that takes the player's username/display name as a parameter. That would be a way of doing it.

I'm not looking to notify everybody on the server, I'd like the player to say something in IRC via the chat. To do this, I need to send a message as the player, not just cycle through everybody on the server.

You should've mentioned that first. That wasn't really clear.

You should create a bot for IRC and have it relay messages. This is sort of the concept of EiraIRC (which is open-source if you need help with your code).

For example:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.sendChatMessage("/time set 12");

Sokaya, no. He is talking about sending a message as the player to an IRC channel, not to the server. Yes, that would work if we were sending a message as the player to the server, but not if we were trying to relay a chat message to IRC.
