How to Change NameTag

[supple summit]

is there a way to modify a display name? (not in tab, in the game), for example, if the user has pvp.%player% = true then ad the side of its name shows "PVP ON"

[lone palm]

couple things. there's the scoreboard objective method which can display directly below their name, or the Java method which requires changing the player's "profile" (search for a snippet by ShaneBee (on his github)

[supple summit]

can you explain further on the scoreboard objective method?

i mean, how can i make the scoreboard read a variable saved on skript?

[lone palm]

sorry, not scoreboard. I meant team (Looks like i was wrong again, it is indeed scoreboard objective). You can change the prefix/suffix of the team and it will update in real time

[supple summit]

i tried using team but didnt really get anywhere, can you give me an example in how to apply a team and how it change a nametag sucessfully?

[lone palm]

I don't know of an addon to do it other than SkBee (which has a dedicated wiki), or you can use the built-in /scoreboard command. Unfortunately the value of the objective for that player will still be there (you can possibly remove it in newer versions, but unsure how)

Use TAB API

[bitter creek]

import me.neznamy.tab.api.TabAPI

command /test:
    trigger:
        nameTagManager = TabAPI.getInstance().getNameTagManager
        tabPlayer =  TabAPI.getInstance().getPlayer("PlayerName")
        nameTagManager.setPrefix(tabPlayer, "PVP ON")

[supple summit]

what addon does this require?

the import is unknown to me

[bitter creek]

TAB plugin
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/tab-1-5-1-21-4.57806/

[supple summit]

i mean, i have the tab plugin, but when i do the skript i get this error message

[bitter creek]

Line 1

import:
    me.neznamy.tab.api.TabAPI

[supple summit]

thanks! now its different errors

but imported succesfully

[bitter creek]

Line 5

nameTagManager = TabAPI.getInstance().getNameTagManager()

Sorry

{_nameTagManager} = .....

[supple summit]

no worries! you did like python right? hahaha, changed here, now there's only one error left

    me.neznamy.tab.api.TabAPI

command /test:
    trigger:
        {_nameTagManager} = TabAPI.getInstance().getNameTagManager()
        {_tabPlayer} =  TabAPI.getInstance().getPlayer(player)
        nameTagManager.setPrefix(tabPlayer, "PVP ON")

[bitter creek]

{_nameTagManager}.setPrefix({_tabPlayer}, "PVP ON")

Maybe i wrong syntax.

set {_nameTagManager} to .....
set {_tabPlayer} to ....

Use

{_nameTagManager}.setPrefix({_tabPlayer}, "PVP ON")

[supple summit]

Thanks! Now there's no error messages but also nothing happens...

[bitter creek]

Please show me full code

"getPlayer()" method uses a player name (string), not a player object.

[cunning vault]

you can also use player profiles

https://github.com/ShaneBeee/SkriptSnippets/blob/77683f4e6fe9e4ff778f7fbe09ebb2fefb9d67a4/snippets/player/Skin-Changer.sk#L4

expression [player] profile name of %player%:
    get:
        return (expr-1).getPlayerProfile().getName()
    set:
        set {_player} to expr-1
        set {_name} to change value
        if length of {_name} > 16:
            set {_name} to first 16 characters of {_name}
        set {_pro} to {_player}.getPlayerProfile()
        {_pro}.setName({_name})
        {_player}.setPlayerProfile({_pro})```

no clue if it works with colored stuff but might as well try

[supple summit]

you're awesome

worked like a charm

at the end it was like

    trigger:
        if {pvp.%player%} is not set:
            set {pvp.%player%} to false
            set {_nameTagManager} to TabAPI.getInstance().getNameTagManager()
            set {_tabPlayer} to TabAPI.getInstance().getPlayer(player's name)
            {_nameTagManager}.setSuffix({_tabPlayer}, " &c&l[PVP]")
        else:
            delete {pvp.%player%}
            set {_nameTagManager} to TabAPI.getInstance().getNameTagManager()
            set {_tabPlayer} to TabAPI.getInstance().getPlayer(player's name)
            {_nameTagManager}.setSuffix({_tabPlayer}, " &a&l[PVP]")```

i believe i could set the {_nameTagManager} outside the if though, but whatever, it works!

[supple summit]

thanks for the nice idea, i'll save it to another time if i need it

Good! Here is another version of the code in PySpigot

# coding: utf-8

from me.neznamy.tab.api.event.player import PlayerLoadEvent
from me.neznamy.tab.api import TabAPI
from dev.magicmq.pyspigot import PySpigot as ps
from org.bukkit.entity import Player
from org.bukkit import ChatColor, Bukkit


# รับ Instance ของ TAB API
nameTagManager = TabAPI.getInstance().getNameTagManager()

getTabPlayer = lambda targetName: TabAPI.getInstance().getPlayer(targetName)

Ct = lambda string: ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', string)


def main(sender, label, args):
    targetName = args[0]
    prefix = args[1]
    if isinstance(sender, Player):
        if nameTagManager != None:
            tabPlayer = getTabPlayer(targetName)
            if tabPlayer:
                nameTagManager.setPrefix(tabPlayer, Ct(unicode(prefix)))
    return False


def playerLoaded(event): # player in this event is tab player not player
    nameTagManager.setPrefix(event.getPlayer(), Ct(u"&4[&6Test&4]&7"))
    player = Bukkit.getPlayer(event.getPlayer().getUniqueId())
    if player.isOp():
        player.sendMessage("Player is loaded")

ps.command.registerCommand(main, "setprefix")
TabAPI.getInstance().getEventBus().register(PlayerLoadEvent, lambda event: playerLoaded(event))

#using /setprefix "player's name" prefix

[cunning vault]
