Overriding Bukkit method

Hi,

I'd like to know if it's possible to override a bukkit server function. What I want to do is override bukkit's getOnlinePlayers to remove someone from the list. Is this kind of thing possible in Java?

 

CraftBukkit handles the getOnlinePlayers() and I think that it's not possible to override it.

 

You could alter the list the server gets the players from, but I don't know if that's a good idea.

Code:java

((CraftServer)Bukkit.getServer()).getHandle().players

Or look at some sources from plugins making players invisible (Spyer), they may do something similar.

 

Can't you just use

Code:java

this.getServer().getOnlinePlayers();

 

No, CraftBukkit takes the players from the list and puts them in a array, when you change this array nothing will happen, whenever you call .getOnlinePlayers() again it will return you a new array.
