Need Help getting a player's name

Hi,

i haven't worked with java for long time, so i can't remember most bukkit basics.
I am actually working on a manabar for mmoInfo and AncientRPG to learn the basics again.

My problem is that i need to get the playername to retrieve the value for the current and the max mana. (Replace "<name>" in the following code by the code to get the playername)

Code:

PlayerData.getPlayerData(<name>).getManasystem().curmana

Hope anyone can help me with that and that i explained it well...
If you give me a code snippet i should be able to understand bukkit again...

Give us the full method kinda unsure what you're trying to do?
If its in a Player Event, use e.getPlayer().getName() if its in an entity event you need to check if e.getEntity() is an instance of a player than cast e.getEntity() as a player then get the name from there.

 

Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(String name);

 

Bukkit.getPlayerExact() would be better. Always better.

 

Hi,

thanks for those quick responses.
It was a great help. but i have another problem.
i tried with that snippets but i get these errors:
ZeusAllMighty11: "cannot find symbol String", " ')' expected" and "cannot find symbol name"
avatarDr: "method getPlayerExact cannot be applied to given types. Required: String; Found: no arguements; Reason: actual and formal arguement lists differ in length"
I will try to fix that when i am at home from work. The code is nearly the same as mmoInfoHealth ( https://github.com/mmoMinecraftDev/mmoInfoHealth )
