HOW TO MAKE PRIVATE MESSAGES WITH SKRIPT

REQUIREMENTS: Skript
DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM

Introduction:

Skript is a great way to make your server on Minehut, you can do almost anything with it. An example is a private messaging system, which will be focused on here.

How to set up private messaging:

To set up private messaging with Skript, you can use the Send Effect in a custom command. Here's a basic example:

command whisper <player> <text>:
    trigger:
        send "%player% whispers to you: %arg-text%" to arg-player
        send "You whispered to %arg-player%: %arg-text%" to player

Here we have two arguments, <player> and <text>. <player> is the user that you want to send a message to, and <text> is what you want to send to said user.

You can customize the "player whispers to you:" and "You whispered to player:" text with color codes like '&a', and hex codes like '<##ff5555>'. You may customize it however you like.

If you want to add aliases to the command, you can put 'aliases: /alias-name' before the trigger of the command.

Note that you cannot use /msg or /tell, because those commands are occupied by Minehut's private messaging system.

Not everyone knows how to use Skript. I'd say it's about medium difficulty though even assuming the reader has basic knowledge of Skript.
