Solved getDisplayName() not working with join events

I'm making a simple plugin to change the join/quit messages. Here is my code so far:

Spoiler: Code

Code (Text):

    @EventHandler
    void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        String joinMsg = plugin.getConfig().getString("join-msg");
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
       
        if(joinMsg.contains("%player")) {
            joinMsg = joinMsg.replace("%player", player.getDisplayName());
        }
       
        joinMsg = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', joinMsg);
       
        event.setJoinMessage(joinMsg);
    }
   
    //Quit
    @EventHandler
    void onPlayerQuit(PlayerQuitEvent event) {
        String leaveMsg = plugin.getConfig().getString("leave-msg");
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
       
        if(leaveMsg.contains("%player")) {
            leaveMsg = leaveMsg.replace("%player", player.getDisplayName());
        }
       
        leaveMsg = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', leaveMsg);
       
        event.setQuitMessage(leaveMsg);
    }

My problem with this is that when the player joins, it shows their actual username, not their display name. However, the display name shows up just fine when a player leaves.

I know that there are several other threads on this, but none of their "solutions" have worked for me.

I've tried setting the join message to null and using Bukkit.broadcast(), as well as making the player send a blank chat message. I'd really rather not have to use a scheduler, and I doubt that would work anyway...

Any ideas?

 

That causes an error. I believe that .getCustomName(); is for getting a mobs nametag or something like that.

 

Nope, doesn't work. The rest of the message shows up fine, it just shows the actual username instead of the displayname from PEX or Essentials.

 

If I do it that way, will it also use the group color from PEX? Or will it only get their nickname? (If they have one)

 

Hmm, well I guess it just can't be done then.

 

Tried this, didn't work. It now shows the Vanilla join message. (Might just be my code).

Code (Text):

    @EventHandler
    void onPlayerJoin(final PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(KingdomTweaks.plugin, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                String joinMsg = KingdomTweaks.plugin.getConfig().getString("join-msg");
                Player player = event.getPlayer();
               
                if(joinMsg.contains("%player")) {
                    joinMsg = joinMsg.replace("%player", player.getDisplayName());
                }
               
                joinMsg = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', joinMsg);
               
                event.setJoinMessage(joinMsg);
            }
        }, 20L * 1);

    }

 

Hey! That works!
Too bad that it shows up after the Essentials MOTD though.

 

Thanks so much!
