Hover over name and show messages

I'm just curious how this could be done. To hover over a name to show json

 

CullanP http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ichatbasecomponent-help.318790/ that or they have libraries that do it but i prefer 1 class over a huge library...

 

Bump: Need something that works with 1.7.10

 

CullanP you could always trigger the tellraw command, though that would require you to have the JSON, it's cross version. I belief there are libraries that compose the JSON for you, if you don't mind libraries (Fanciful, it even sends the message for you)

I understand how to send json messages, but how would I make a json message show when you hover over a playername that had just talked in chat. I've seen servers do this

I don't see anything in that thread pertaining to what I'm trying to do. I already understand how to send json messages. I just have no idea how I could send a json message through a playername when they talk in chat.
I got this code from ResultStatic , but to my luck it only works on spigot 1.7.9 for some odd reason.

Code:

package main;
 
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_7_R4.entity.CraftPlayer;
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_7_R4.util.CraftChatMessage;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
 
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R4.ChatClickable;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R4.ChatComponentText;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R4.ChatHoverable;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R4.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R4.EnumClickAction;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R4.EnumHoverAction;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R4.IChatBaseComponent;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_7_R4.PacketPlayOutChat;
 
public class FancyText {
 
 
    LinkedHashMap<String, MessageComponent> message = new LinkedHashMap<String, MessageComponent>();
 
 
    public FancyText addText(String text){
        this.message.put(text, new MessageComponent(text, null, null));
        return this;
    }
 
    public FancyText addClickableLink(String text,String link){
        this.message.put(link, new MessageComponent(text, link, EnumClickAction.OPEN_URL));
        return null;
 
 
 
    }
 
    public FancyText addRunnableCommand(String text, String command){
 
        this.message.put(text, new MessageComponent(text, command, EnumClickAction.RUN_COMMAND));
        return this;
    }
 
    public FancyText addChatSuggestion(String text,String suggestion){
 
        this.message.put(text, new MessageComponent(text, suggestion, EnumClickAction.SUGGEST_COMMAND));
 
        return this;
        }
 
 
    public FancyText addHoverEvent(String text, String hover){
 
        this.message.put(text, new MessageComponent(text,hover ,EnumHoverAction.SHOW_TEXT));
 
        return this;
        }
 
 
 
 
    public void sendToPlayer(Player player){
  CraftPlayer cp = (CraftPlayer)player;
  EntityPlayer ep = cp.getHandle();
        ChatComponentText master = new ChatComponentText("");
        for (String text: message.keySet()){
            for (IChatBaseComponent m: message.get(text).compile()) {
                master.a(m);
                }
 
            }
        ep.playerConnection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutChat(master));
        }
 
    public void sendToAllPlayers(){
        for (Player player: Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
            this.sendToPlayer(player);
        }
    }
    public class MessageComponent {
 
        Enum<?> e;
        String data;
        String text;
        IChatBaseComponent[] chat;
 
        public MessageComponent(String text, String data, Enum<?> e){
        this.e = e;
        this.text = text;
        this.data = data;
        chat = CraftChatMessage.fromString(text);
        }
 
        public IChatBaseComponent[] compile(){
            for (IChatBaseComponent c: chat){
            if (data == null || e == null){
 
                return chat;
            }
                if (e instanceof EnumClickAction){
                c.getChatModifier().setChatClickable(new ChatClickable((EnumClickAction) e, data));
                }else if (e instanceof EnumHoverAction){
                    c.getChatModifier().a((new ChatHoverable((EnumHoverAction)e, new ChatComponentText(data))));
                }
            }
 
            return chat;
        }
    }
}

If I compile that in spigot 1.7.9 I can make hoverevent show up in playernames, 1.7.10 just makes it show as blank text and since I want to stay on 1.8 I need a way for this to work on 1.7.10

 

CullanP have you debugged the JSON that is being sent to the client?

 

I have no use in doing that. It makes no sense to me why in 1.7.9 it works and 1.7.10 it doesn't. They had to of changed something.

 

there is a video that explains this. My friend said it worked great for him

 

Which is why I ask you to debug :\

 

I've written a class to handle JSON text using NMS. Use http://www.minecraftjson.com for the code generation.

I don't need help figuring out how to send normal json messages in chat, I'm trying to send json messages under playernames for example if freddy talked in chat you could hover over his name and show json. I have no idea how to do that

 

CullanP Okay, thanks for clarifying. You would cancel the chat event and broadcast the JSON. The thing is I'm not sure how to implement it inside of messages without making the entire text clickable. I'll test some stuff.

 

CullanP You'd be better off seeking support where you acquired your server mod.

 

MineStein you can 'glue' JSON parts together in the 'extra' part. That way you can make it so that the hover only works on the text part that is specified in that JSON block.

 

fireblast709 Yeah, I figured it would work somehow like that.
