Checking for specific server message

[logan121]

Hello, im trying to make it so if the message that is sent in chat is == `hi` it will send hi! back. 

This is what I have managed so far, although im unsure how i can make it only send if the message is == `hi` Originally I tried if(e.message.equals("hi");

However, it is false no matter what I do!

The type is IChatComponent

I then found out that I can do the following:
However, im unsure how i can filter the message so its only true if the message is == `hi`
 

@SubscribeEvent
public void onChat(ChatReceivedEvent e) {
    if(e.message.equals(e.message)) {
        System.out.println(e.message);
        mc.Player.sendChatMessage("hi!");
    }else {
        System.out.println(e.type);
        System.out.println("1");
    }
}

If anyone could help me it would be great as I have been trying to get this to work for around 2 hours.

Thanks,
Logan

@SubscribeEvent
public void onChat(ChatReceivedEvent e) {
    String raw = e.message.getUnformattedText();
    if (raw.contains("!help")) {
        mc.Player.sendChatMessage("hi");
    }
}

 

I've finally figured it out, 

next step: How can I make it so if the player sends this message, it will only send it client side?
