Replace chat words???

I have tried before to do this, but could never figure it out, any help with replacing worlds with other words?
This code dosnt work...

Code:java

package me.Meatie.plugin;
 
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
public class badwords implements Listener {
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        event.getMessage().replace("i", "I");
        event.setMessage(event.getMessage());
        }
}

Here are some sources i used to make this code: one, two

 

Err... you just get the message, replace the i with an I, get rid of it and set the chat message to itself. Let me correct it for you

Code:java

package me.Meatie.plugin;
 
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
public class badwords implements Listener {
 
@EventHandler
public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
String newMessage = event.getMessage().replace("i", "I");
event.setMessage(newMessage);
}
}

Also, this will replace every "i". So when I say "hi" it will be "hI".

Code:

e.getMessage().replaceAll("i", "I");

Replacing all instances of "i" is probably more desirable.

 

Thank you thp, im testing if it works!
lol, it was an example, and i think i would do this if i was going to do I.

Code:

event.getMessage().replaceAll(" i ", " I ");

Thanks @Compressions

 

"So do i" "i want cake"
If you do this it won't work on those two
If you were doing "i" you should do this:

Code:

event.getMessage().replaceAll(" i ", " I ");
event.getMessage().replaceAll("i ", "I ");
event.getMessage().replaceAll(" i", " I");

 

Good idea, Thanks!
How would I add ignore cases? like saying grass and not replacing the "ass" part?

 

That won't do at all. If you use the aforementioned code, "Hi there" would become "HI there", and "an iteration" would become "an Iteration". Instead, take the input string and split it into individual words (ignoring spaces). Then, for-loop through all of the words and replace any instances of the word "i" with "I". You can also use this to censor words, making "ass" and "grass" easy to distinguish from each other.

 

Ohh it is so easy

String newMessage = event.getMessage().replaceAll("ass", "***");
event.setMessage(newMessage);
newMessage = event.detMessage().replaceAll("gr***", "grass");

 

Or you can just set an array with bad words and check if the word is in the message :

Code:java

public static String[] badWords = { "fuck", "ass", "bitch" };

And then :

Code:java

String message = event.getMessage().toLowerCase();
List<String> newMessage = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String s : message.split(" ")){ // check every word
if (badWords.contains(s)){
newMessage.add(StringUtils.repeat('*', s.length());
} else {
newMessage.add(s);
}
}
event.setMessage(StringUtils.join(newMessage, ' '));

Tag me if you want more explaination or information about this.

 

Gerka You would have to re-replace all instances of words that would normally end in "ass".

Meatiex Assuming you have a list of blacklisted words and replacement words, you could iterate through each word in your message and see if that word matches a blacklisted word. Then, you replace that blacklisted word with the appropriate replacement word:

Code:java

HashMap<String, String> blacklist = new HashMap<String, String>();
blacklist.add("ass", "butt");
blacklist.add("fuck", "fudge");
 
String message = e.getMessage();
 
for (String word: message.split("[\\p{P} \\t\\n\\r]")){
    for (String blackword : blacklist.keySet()){
        if (word.equalsIgnoreCase(blackword)){
            message.replace(word, blacklist.get(blackword));
            break;
        }
    }
}
 
e.setMessage(message);
