Adding prefixes to players names on tab?

Doesn't player.setDisplayName("[Prefix] " + player); do this?

 

What he said √ ^

It doesn't set the nametag. It sets the player name in the tab man. If you want to set colors just use the Chat Colors.

@CreeperAnatomy He wants to set a player prefix, and his name with colors, but in the tab.

 

If you set the display for the players objective in the scoreboard to be the Tab list, you should get the desired affect.

Relevant enum: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/scoreboard/DisplaySlot.html

 

p#setPlayerListName("&c[PREFIX] " + p.getName()); should do the trick for the tab. Not for the player name tags though, if that's what your looking for.

 

Yes, but you have the 16 character limit. Ill get my code I used to set player names just a secod

 

You should be able to get the gist of wht the code does, the whole thing is for my server and has other things accoisated wit it.

Code (Text):

Scoreboard board = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getNewScoreboard();

        p.setScoreboard(board);
        Iterator<String> keySetIterator = ranks.Instance.rankColor.keySet().iterator();
           
            while (keySetIterator.hasNext()) {
            String rank = keySetIterator.next();
            String formattedRank = ranks.Instance.makeRankName(rank, true) + " " + ChatColor.RESET;
            board.registerNewTeam(rank).setPrefix(formattedRank);
            if(!(rank == "guest"))
                board.getTeam(rank).setSuffix(ChatColor.DARK_RED + " ★ ");
            board.registerNewTeam("afk"+rank).setPrefix(formattedRank);
            board.getTeam("afk"+rank).setSuffix(ChatColor.DARK_RED + " AFK ");
            }
        final String rankNTitle = ranks.Instance.getRank(p).toString();
        final Player titleP = p;
        for (Player o : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            String rankN = ranks.Instance.getRank(p).toString();

            String oRankN = ranks.Instance.getRank(o).toString();

            if (afk.contains(o.getName())) {
                oRankN = "afk" + oRankN;
            }
            if (a) {
                rankN = "afk" + rankN;

            }

            board.getTeam(oRankN).addPlayer(o);

            o.getScoreboard().getTeam(rankN).addPlayer(p);

 
 

Ill try and explain what you need to do for every time you want to update the scoreboard
Grab a new scoreboard and set the player to be that scoreboard.
For every different prefix you want, register a new team on that scoreboard and set the prefix to be what you want.
loop through all players on the server, and check what prefix they should have, then get the scoreboard and add them to that prefix team. and the final step get the original players scoreboard, get the prefix you want to add them to and add them to that player.

Sorry if its complicated, but yeah that what you need to do.

 

So is it working now?

 

Code (Text):

       Team team = s.getTeam("teamname");
        if(team == null){
            team = s.registerNewTeam("teamname");
        }
        team.setPrefix(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&a[Prefix]"));
        team.addPlayer(e.getPlayer());
 

Will show like this in tab:
[Prefix] JamesJ

 

Is it hooked into your prefix / permissions plugin?

 

Most of that is incorrect, lmao.

 

LOLOLOLOLOL
It's amazing how wrong you are.

 

Hook it into your plugin that's using the prefix.

That's why it's not reading the code correctly.
