A "sendtextmessage" command returned with a server error.

Why I became this error?

`public class ClientJoinListener extends TS3EventAdapter {

private TS3Api api;

public ClientJoinListener(TS3Api api) {
    this.api = api;
}

@Override
public void onClientJoin(final ClientJoinEvent event) {
    System.out.println("Test");
    Client client = api.getClientInfo(event.getClientId());
    api.sendPrivateMessage(client.getId(), "Hello!");
}

}

just use public YourClass implements TS3Listener then go ahed with api.sendPrivateMessage(event.getClientId(), "Hello");

Neat, the logger cuts off the second line of the error message :/ That line would usually contain the error name and ID, which would help us actually track down this issue. Without it, all I can do is guess:

• Perhaps you're trying to send a message to a query client instead of a regular client. You should probably wrap that call to api.sendPrivateMessage in an if that checks for the client type, i.e.: if (client.isRegularClient()) { [...]
• It could be that you're missing the required permissions to send private messages to clients, but that seems rather unlikely to me.

It could be, that a client disconnects in the time the api needs to go trough the code; I got this often: A scanner client by ts-viewer/xyz connects and instantly disconnects again; I got a error because i cant send a message to someone who is offline.

Could this be the same Problem here? Check your Teamspeak Console for the whole server
