[SOLVED] PlayerChatEvent event

Appears to have been removed in recent changes. Whats the equivalent? I’m not finding anything.

You could use the MessageSinkEvent and check if the command source is a player:

@Listener
public void onChat(MessageSinkEvent event) {
  if(event.getSource() instanceof Player) {
    Player player = (Player) event.getSource();
  }
}

Perfect. Thanks!

One second, @Zidane just wrecked that plan. I’ll post updated code shortly.

Update your Maven dependencies to see the change.

EDIT - This should work:

@Listener
public void onChat(MessageSinkEvent event) {
  Optional<Player> playerOptional = event.getCause().first(Player.class);
  if(!playerOptional.isPresent()) return;
  Player player = playerOptional.get();
}

[Solved] What happened to all of the player events?

In order to get the source for any event that is CauseTracked, you now must query for the Cause. So for example, lets assume you want to see if a Player caused a BreakBlockEvent, you would do the following :
public void onBreakBlockEvent(BreakBlockEvent event) {
Optional player = event.getCause().first(Player.class);
if (player.isPresent()) {
// do stuff
}
}

Excellent. Will test tomorrow.

Please note that Sponge doesn’t have a runnable version using this new event API. The new event API should be implemented in the next Sponge version greater than: 1.8-1499-2.1DEV-591

Well I guess testing won’t do me any good then. Either way thanks. All looks good on paper.

Seems Sponge 592 and 602 is available. I’d try with these and the newest API.
