[SOLVED] [1.12.2] Send a Colored Message to Player when him Breaks a Block

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi, i'm new at this universe of modding with Forge.

 

Recently while i'm working on my mod, i tried to implement a way to send a message from player when him breaks a block, and i was done by using the TextComponentString method, but now i'm trying to implement the same but adding color to the message.

I'm tried using Text Formatting, but i don't know if my code wasn't properly written or if this method is not compatible with TextComponentString.

 

public class ChatMessageSend {
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void sendMessage(BreakEvent event) 
	{
		event.getPlayer().sendMessage(new TextComponentString("text").getStyle().setColor(TextFormatting.RED));
	} 
	
}

 

Any solution is appreciated.

Do "<" + EntityPlayer::getName() + ">" + TextFormatting.RED + "text". I don't think there's any way to send a message from the player.

You have to getPlayer then send message. Idk, something like this should work:

Spoiler

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void sendMessage(BreakEvent event) {
        EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) event.getPlayer();
        player.sendMessage(new TextComponentTranslation("Message goes here").setStyle(new Style().setColor(TextFormatting.GOLD)));
    }

    }
 

 

? This is so wrong. You don't need the instance if you're only gonna use it once...

Where in OP's broken english does he/she say anything about only using it once.  The code does exactly what they are asking.

It's basic Java. You don't have to make a reference variable, meaning you basically wrote the same thing as the OP.

EntityPlayer::sendMessage will send a message to the player. To send a message from the player you'd have to concatenate a bunch of Strings (including the player's username and the message), and sending it to all players in PlayerList.

Now, I used this code and all now is working as expected, just only i have changed the TextComponentTranslation for TextComponentString because after investigating I understood that the Translation component it was for other types of purposes.

 

so thank you guys, also to @Differentiation, now i managed how sendMessage method works.

I mean you could've just concatenated TextFormatting.RED and your String inside TextComponentString... but you do you.
