Using another plugins API

I am trying to get a player's chat format from PureChat. I looked through the code and I see a function getChatFormat(). How can I access that from my plugin and use it?
PureChat: https://github.com/PurePlugins/PureChat/

 

What is "chat format"? What does it include? Do you want to get the message of the player or a part of the message?

 

The getChatFormat() returns the nametag the player has after the PureChat styling has been added (to ensure that my plugin doesn't mess it up). Example nametag: [Example] HittmanA | Example chat nametag: [Example] HittmanA: Hi

 

I simply need to know how to access a plugin's function and get what it returns.

 

From the plugins main file, you can use

PHP:

$pp = $this->getServer()->getPluginManager()->getPlugin("PurePerms");

after that, you can just use whatever functions needed to do what you want within the plugin.

 

And then I can just do

PHP:

$format = $pp->getChatFormat(ARGS);

?

 

@HittmanA that can be used as long as the plugin has that in its main file

 

Ok Thanks

 

More accurately; if a function with that name exists in that class.
