HOW TO FORMAT CHAT WITH SKRIPT

REQUIREMENTS: Skript
DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM

Introduction:

For the following tutorial, it is assumed that the reader has a basic knowledge of how to set up a server, install a plugin on said server and join it. It is also assumed that the reader has basic file manipulation skills within the Minehut File Manager, as well a moderate knowledge of the plugin 'Skript'.

The plugin Skript is a great way to modify your server on Minehut. It is incredibly versatile and you can do almost anything with it. An example of this is formatting chat, which I will be focussing on today.

How to format chat:

To format chat, the 'chat format' expression inside of the 'on chat' event can be used. A very basic example of this could entail:

on chat:
  set the chat format to "%player% said %message%"

here we use %player% to represent the player chatting and %message% to represent the message the player sends. You can include color codes such as '&3' or hex codes such as '<##ff00fff>', your chat message can say whatever you want it to say.

You can also use something like this to merge your Skript chat format with your permission plugin's prefix:

on chat:
  if player is op:
    set the chat format to "%player's display name%&f: %message%"
  else:
    set the chat format to "%player's display name%&7: %message%"

Try this:

on join:
    set {_uuid} to player's uuid
    if player does not have the permission "skript.owner":
        if player does not have the permission "skript.admin":
            if player does not have the permission "skript.staff":
                if player does not have the permission "skript.vip":
                    set {rank.%{_uuid}%} to "&7&lMEMBER"
                else:
                    set {rank.%{_uuid}%} to "&b&lVIP"
            else:
                set {rank.%{_uuid}%} to "&a&lSTAFF"
        else:
            set {rank.%{_uuid}%} to "&c&lADMIN"
    else:
        set {rank.%{_uuid}%} to "&6&lOWNER"

on chat:
    set chat format to "%{rank.%{_uuid}%}% &8x &f%player's displayname% &8» &7%message%"

I have not tested this out but in principal it should work. If there are any errors let me know

You don't need to make the permission a variable 

you can make it like 

on chat:
  If player has permission "skript.owner":
	set {rank.%player's uuid%} to "&8&l[&c&lOwner&8&l]"
	set the chat format to "%{rank.%player's uuid%}% %player's display name% &c>> &7%message%"
