AutoAnswer
What is AutoAnswer?
The purpose of this plugin is to give admins / moderators on your server a break by answering some of the questions that your players have. This is done through a list of questions and answers that you can edit yourself. If a player then asks this question they will automatically be sent a message with the answer that you put in! This means a lot less hassle for you and your staff meaning they can spend more time dealing with more important matters.
How do I use AutoAnswer?
It is easy to set-up and use AutoAnswer on your server. All you have to do is drag the jar file you download into your plugins folder and start your server. This will automatically create a folder called AutoAnswer where your config is stored. When you first look at the config file you will notice that there is already a default question setup, it will look something like this:
Question1:
Key Words:
- staff
- moderator
- op
- can
- i
- be
Answer: No, you cannot be staff at this time, we may be looking for staff in the future!
As you can see, the question has a number (in this case 1). It is important that when adding new questions you name them similarly (e.g. Question2, Question3 etc.) this will be changed in later updates. Each question you add should be laid out in the same format as the default question.
Please note that all key words should be in lower case, this will be fixed in the next update
You will also notice the line:
Number of Questions: 1
It is important that you change this to the number of questions that you have setup otherwise they will not all be checked and so will not work properly.
You will also notice that you get an option to enable or disable "Cancel Chat", this lets you decide whether you want the players question to be sent as a message to everybody like normal as well as them getting the answer or if you want to cancel the message so that nobody else see's it.
You can now reload the plugins config using the command /aa reload, this means you no longer have to reload the whole server to make changes to your questions and answers!
Finally, you can also change the prefix of the chat from "AutoAnswer" to anything you wish!
How often will this plugin be updated?
This is not my only plugin and so I will not be able to update it as quickly as possible due to the fact I have others that I need to update, saying that, I will always try and update the plugin as quickly as possible so that the plugin does not get behind, or if I just feel like adding a new feature.
Planned Features
Here is a list of features im planning to add to the plugin:
- Easy to use commands
- More Permissions
- More customization to messages (color etc.)
- Prefix color customization.
Donate?
I work on the plugins that I create for the fun of making them as well as to help people out with features that they want on servers. If you feel that I am doing a good job at it and wish to donate to help keep me motivated to continue the plugins I am making you can do so by clicking the donate button in the top right of the screen. These donations really help keep me motivated to keep going as well as helping me stay focused and on task.
hello have you ever created a plugin that could for example be a word associated puzzle? i love your automessage on my server, which is currently down as 1.11 didn't agree with some files, however i wish to have a plugin that would reward players for completing trivia style txt games, as a few of my players join on minechat while at school or on the bus etc. Thank you for your time.
Server: Mineycrafty.com ~ currently down for mantinence
@murdertramp
Could you please post your config in a pastebin and provide the link. I'll take a look at your config.
Installed this mod but when i use the keywords listed in the example nothings pops up in chat.
We are sorry every for the VERY late response and lack of update. Due to Exams, Developer is quite busy with that and after that, Plugin will continue in development.
@Bron4
I'll look into this now :)
Here is my config. And my problem.
When someone asks the question. "Can i be guard ?" it replies with BOTH the answers to question 1 & 2
If someone asks the question " how do i rank up" It gives the person a 2X reply of the correct answer (#2). (this isn't actually that bad, really)
Config below line.

Have uploaded an update (currently being approved by Bukkit). This will allow you to broadcast the answers globally and seperate the amount of words required to each question
How I turn the answers global?
@nandox5
Will add this in the next update :D
@DToPANICo
Thanks :)
without even knowing about this plugin, i began coding a plugin very similar with the same name. it is not an easy process, so pros to you.
Would it be possible to seperate the settings for each question?
for example, in one question i would like to have it match 4 keywords, and on another question match 2 keywords.. also, for question 1 i would like to block the output to the chat but for question 2 i would like the question to appear in the chat..

Plugin not loading on spigot 1.7.2
plugins: i only have those five listed in the error.. i tried running spigot with only autoasnwer and i still get the same error
[edit] problem fixed.. after careful review of the log i noticed i had 1.6 of java.. upgraded to 1.7 and now its working again..
I have noticed that this plugin does not pick up on bungee chat, for use with spigot servers. I will be unable to use this, but this is still an awesome plugin.
Does this plugin whisper the player or broadcast it to the whole server?
It would be a good option if you could specify per question how it broadcasts that information. I personally need it to broadcast that answer to everyone, as all the users try to answer the question if none of the staff speak up.
Hello,
I have one problem.
When I put in my config.yml customized settings, so I'm going and I like it, but then I've wanted to write when someone please admins for help but write only as "Admin?" that he also wrote something.
But there is a problem that config. YML it does not take a question mark "?". He takes it two question marks, but no one, write it down instead of null: null.
It is possible to fix it? Or is it simply not accept the question mark?
Here is the example of the config:
Question7: Key Words: - Rulz - rulz - Sweeenzy - sweeenzy - rulz - rulz - Admin - admin - Admin - Admin - Jony - jony - Null: null -?? -?? Answer: "Answer"
Have uploaded an update that updates to the latest dev build of craftbukkit (1.7.2) as well as adding a reload command (/aa reload) and allowing you to disable the plugin from the config
@multidude
OK! These kinda plugins exists for a while but I found them out yesterday, the only problem I have is with the keywords :P If you are interested what I mean pm me, I am very busy atm so I can't really make posts and stuff.
@DreamCastNetwork
Have added a reload command which will be in the next update :D
Also, great to see that we have reached 200 downloads!!! Keep spreading the word as I think that this plugin will be a big help to a lot of server owners who just haven't been able to find the plugin yet.
@multidude
@DreamCastNetwork
+1 :)
@multidude
I totally agree with ThisUsernameIsMine, You can also make an reload command?
