Double join messages / question about death messages

[JessePesse123]

Hi, we're having trouble with the join messages. When a player it always sends 2 join messages. Nothing is seen in the console. (except this marriage error:) `

But that error is sent with every message. Do you know what it could be?

In death messages: what placeholder do u need to use for the previously {killer_item}
?

[kangarko]

Thanks I will fix that error!

Use [item]

[JessePesse123]

Hey, is there also a way to display the killer items name. Like if I name my sword Excalibur, rn it justs sends netherite sword

[kangarko]

Sure, but you'd need to code this in JavaScript, please ask people on Discord and someone may code this for you, you can paste it here and I will include it for everyone ;)

Value: |-
    itemDisplayName();
    
    function itemDisplayName() {
        var itemName = player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName();
        var itemDefaultName = player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getType().name().toLowerCase().replaceAll('_', ' ');
        var textColor = '&a';
        var bracketColor = '&f';
    
        if (itemName != '') {
            return bracketColor + '[' + textColor + itemName + bracketColor + ']';
        } else {
            return bracketColor + '[' + textColor + itemDefaultName + bracketColor + ']';
        }
    }

Thanks! However, some items do not have itemmeta nor displayname, here is a safe version, also works for 1.8.8:

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ChatControl supports dynamic, high performance variables you create! They can be used across
# the plugin, for example in formatting your chat or death messages. Currently, the folder
# variables/ stores all custom variables in each separate yml file.
#
# Variables can not only be used to display information, but because you can write your own full
# code in JavaScript to display them, they can also do whatever you would wish for your
# players/server, such as sneaking in code to send sounds or spawn monsters.
#
# Coding this variable requires a little bit of JavaScript knowledge, see the link below.
#
# For documentation and help, please see this link:
# https://github.com/kangarko/ChatControl-Red/wiki/JavaScript-Variables
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Where should this variable be used?
#
# FORMAT = used in your formats with {syntax}, players cannot use it
# MESSAGE = players can use it with [syntax] in their chat messages
Type: message

# The key we look for in the chat surrounded by [] brackets, example:
# chat message: "Hello everyone, I have an [item] in my hand" if your key is equal to "item"
Key: killer_item

# The value the key will be replaced to. This uses JavaScript.
