Configuration

Messages

The configurable messages consist of these message blocks:

{
    "KillerType": "Player",
    "VictimType": "Player",
    "DamageType": "Bullet",
    "Messages": [
        "{killer} shot {victim} using their {weapon} over a distance of {distance}."
    ]
}

These message blocks can be edited, removed or added to your liking. To disable a message, please just remove the respective message block entirely. The plugin dynamically decides which message should be used in a certain situation. Therefor you have to specify the KillerType, VictimType and DamageType describing the situation you want your message to appear in.

The message example above is used when a player kills another player doing bullet damage. You can use the default configuration as an example on what it looks like when having multiple message blocks, doing this it is important you don't forget comma.

* and - can also be used for KillerType, VictimType, or DamageType.

• * matches any possible killer/victim/damage type, including a situation with no killer/victim/damage type
• - matches if there is no killer/victim/damage type. This usually only applies to the killer.
