whitelist message

[OGContent]

Skript should add something like { [the] whitelist( |-)message }
and it would edit spigot.yml or it would make a custom message

The best way to handle this would probably be creating your own whitelist functionality. I looked around a bit and it seems like Spigot doesn't provide any API to change the whitelist message besides editing that file.

creating own whitelist functionality is easy with 2 lines, but that wouldn't delete the player data and if someone has
on join:
some set variable thing
it would destroy it if they forgot to do it they would have to reset the variable if the variable was a list, if it was a nested variables they would have to go to variables.csv and delete it 1 by one if they have some variables they don't want to delete

so editing the file would be the best if you guys add it

unfortunately it's not really viable to edit the file, because even if we did do that it wouldn't take affect until the server restarts which isn't really what most people would want.

Can be done with updating the value manually via reflection in SpigotConfig, don't know if it saves changes to file though most probably not so updating the file will still be needed for persistent changing.

As Skript requires Spigot already this not much of a problem except maintaining the reflection and file code. If spigot.yml or SpigotConfig format changes, our code will break. Not a reliable way as said above, so you can open a feature request to Spigot instead, but if anyone wants to implement this anyway, can be done with a reflection & snakeyaml logic.

Functionality doesn't seem super useful since it probably takes just as much or less time than manually updating the value in spigot.yml yourself

I thought this was already doable with the kick event and the kick message, but apparently the kick message is not the same thing as the kick reason, see PlayerKickEvent: it has getReason/setReason and getLeaveMessage/setLeaveMessage. This can be added as another enum value to ExprMessage:

Skript/src/main/java/ch/njol/skript/expressions/ExprMessage.java

Lines 106 to 123 in 91a4e00

	QUIT("quit", "(quit|leave|log[ ]out|kick)( |-)message", PlayerQuitEvent.class, PlayerKickEvent.class) {
	@Override
	@Nullable
	String get(final Event e) {
	if (e instanceof PlayerKickEvent)
	return ((PlayerKickEvent) e).getLeaveMessage();
	else
	return ((PlayerQuitEvent) e).getQuitMessage();
	}
	@Override
	void set(final Event e, final String message) {
	if (e instanceof PlayerKickEvent)
	((PlayerKickEvent) e).setLeaveMessage(message);
	else
	((PlayerQuitEvent) e).setQuitMessage(message);
	}
	},
