Creating Custom Event Listeners

Creating Custom Event Listeners

This guide will outline how to create custom command listeners in Nhplugin and Javascript

Creating the Event Listener File

• In the events directory (/plugins/Nhplugin/scripts/events) is where all event listener scripts are created
• For this example we are going to make a file called playerJoinEvent.js in the events folder

Creating the Function

• In any event handler the function will follow the format below:

function <event_handler_name>(event, nhplugin){}

• The event parameter is the instance of the event
• The Nhplugin param is the instance of Nhlugin allowing access to the inbuilt utility classes, functions, and data
• For the playerJoinEvent.js file the following will be used:

function playerJoinEvent(event, nhplugin){

    var player = event.getPlayer()
    Bukkit.broadcast(player.getDisplayName() + " has joined the server", "nh.join_alerts")

}

• This will broadcast to all players with the nh.chat permission when a user joins the server

Registering the Event Listener

• To register the event listener, the eventHandler.js script in the /plugins/Nhplugin/scripts/eventHandler.js must be modified.
