Need help with a very simple thing

I'm trying to learn plugin development and started with a very simple thing. I want something to run when a player is sending a message. But it does not work. What's wrong? Probably something very simple and stupid?

The PlayerChatEvent() don't seem to be called because the string "Someone wrote a message." does not show up in the server-log when i write a message.

Here is the code:

PHP:

<?php

namespace Bendrin\Test;

use pocketmine\plugin\PluginBase;
use pocketmine\event\player\PlayerChatEvent;

class Test extends PluginBase{

    public function onEnable(){
        $this->getLogger()->info("onEnable() has been called!");
    }
   
    public function PlayerChatEvent(){
        $this->getLogger()->info("Someone wrote a message.");
    }

    public function onDisable(){
        $this->getLogger()->info("onDisable() has been called!");
    }
}

do /pugins and make sure it is in the list if it is not then the problem is from the plugin.yml

Try using:

PHP:

public function onChatEvent(PlayerChatEvent $event){
$this->getLogger()->info("Someone wrote a message.");
}

oh yeah , forgot the PlayerChatEvent $event (dumy)

The plugin is loaded as it should.

Tried it, but it didn't fix it.


Can it be something with

PHP:

class Test extends PluginBase

? It only extends PluginBase and not PlayerChatEvent. How do i put it in there?

I made a mistake, try with this code (replace this to the previous one):

PHP:

public function onChat(PlayerChatEvent $event){
$this->getLogger()->info("Someone wrote a message.");
}


onchat or onchatevent is callable so it doesn't matter what it is called so i think the problem is from the plugin.yml , can you show it to us

Nope, that didn't fix it.

I don't think it's a problem in the plugin.yml. The plugin loads just fine and the other 2 functions onEnable() and onDisable() works.

Btw, here is the plugin.yml:

Code:

name: Test
version: 1.0.0
api: 1.0.0
author: Bendrin
main: Bendrin\Test\Test

this is wired

maybe it's pocketmine problem , when you tested did you tested by chatting in the console or the normal player chat ?

Indeed it's weird.

I chatted from a normal player in game.

It's not. I can use this function fine.

Can you give me a working code example? It's very weird that it's not working for me.

What I'm referencing is private, but I learned from SimpleAuth: https://github.com/PocketMine/SimpleAuth/blob/master/src/SimpleAuth/SimpleAuth.php#L289-L290

Okay, thank you. Will take a look at it!

oh yeah you have to put $this->getServer()->getPluginManager()->registerEvents($this, $this); under onenable ( how did i forgot about it )

Yaay! It's working!

But I get an error in the console every time a message is sent in game. The plugin works, but the spam in the console is not very nice.


This is how my code looks right now:

PHP:

<?php

namespace Bendrin\Test;

use pocketmine\plugin\PluginBase;
use pocketmine\event\player\PlayerChatEvent;
use pocketmine\event\Listener;

class Test extends PluginBase{

    public function onEnable(){
        $this->getLogger()->info("onEnable() has been called!");
        $this->getServer()->getPluginManager()->registerEvents($this, $this);
    }
   
    public function onChatEvent(PlayerChatEvent $event){
        $this->getLogger()->info("Someone wrote a message.");
    }
   
    public function onDisable(){
        $this->getLogger()->info("onDisable() has been called!");
    }
}

it's pocketmine problem

Okay!

Thank you everyone that helped me!

no problem and if you need any help just ask me
