Hello, everyone.

I'm new to Forge and modding. I decided to try to make a couple of mods.

 

My first mod is to send a message in the public chat when client sees a certain message in the chat. Some sort of a bot.

So, here is what I got:

@EventHandler
    public void onChatRecieved(ClientChatReceivedEvent e){
    	if (e.message.getUnformattedTextForChat().contains("Bot, hi")){
    		Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.sendChatMessage("Troll");
    	}
    }

Full .class

 

package me.Artur_Gamez;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraftforge.client.MinecraftForgeClient;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ClientChatReceivedEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.FMLCommonHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.Instance;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

@Mod(modid=Main.MODID, name=Main.MODNAME, version=Main.MODVER)
public class Main
{
    //Set the ID of the mod (Should be lower case).
    public static final String MODID = "Test Mod";
    //Set the "Name" of the mod.
    public static final String MODNAME = "Bot";
    //Set the version of the mod.
    public static final String MODVER = "0.0.1";

    @Instance(value = Main.MODID)
    public static Main instance;
        
    @EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){
        
    }
        
    @EventHandler
    public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event){
    	FMLCommonHandler.instance().bus().register(this);

    }
        
    @EventHandler
    public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event){
    	
    }
    
    @EventHandler
    public void onChatRecieved(ClientChatReceivedEvent e){
    	if (e.message.getUnformattedTextForChat().contains("Bot, hi")){
    		Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.sendChatMessage("Troll");
    	}
    }
}

 

 

For some reason, this code is not working and I don't know why. When I say "Bot, hi" in the chat, it doesn't send "Troll" in the chat.

 

Can anyone help me? Will be much appreciated.

Well, for starters, you would have to retrieve the player that sent the text "Bot, hi". Then, send a message to that player.

More accurately:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer

is the bot, not the other person.

Thanks you guys for replying to this thread. I read the replies and got some questions.

I believe you think this mod is going to be a server side. No. I'm trying to create this mod for a client, so the client is going to be on a vanilla server.

The reason I do this, is I do not own this server. If I did, I could have just created a plugin for it.

Could you please explain what you mean by that?

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer is the client side local player.  If the bot tries to access this it will simply access itself.

 

If the code is running on a server, it will simply crash.  That's it, server's 404.  Game over man, game over.

You have to talk to the server to send something back to the player.

I want to make it like Twitch Bot. Its going to do something if a player typed something in the chat. And I dont want to touch the server side.

ClientChatReceivedEvent is a forge event, not an FML lifecycle event like FMLPreInitializationEvent.

Read a tutorial on forge events.

 

Do you mean I registered the event wrong?

He's probably a very "bold" person.

Ok, so. I think that I got the event part. But the question is, how to get client to send a message in the server chat?

Ha ha. Ha. You are a very "funny" person. -.-

Well after just testing this for a project i'm working on. Your issue is this line.

 

if (e.message.getUnformattedTextForChat().contains("Bot, hi")){

 

You need to change it to this

if (e.message.getUnformattedText().contains("Bot, hi")){
