Solved Getting player always null?

Hi!

I was working on something, and this isn't working:

Code:java

String name = e.getItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName();
                            Player p = Bukkit.getPlayerExact(name);
                            pl = name;
                            if(p == null)
                            {
                                e.getPlayer().sendMessage("§4Can't open inventory. The player §2" + name + " §4is not real!");
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                i = Bukkit.createInventory(e.getPlayer(), 9, name);
 
                                i.setItem(5, setNameAndLore(Material.BONE, 1, "§4Do you want to kill §2" + name.toLowerCase() + "§4?"));
 
                                e.getPlayer().openInventory(i);
                            }

But it always says that name is null. If anyone knows why please let me know! Thanks!

 

Are you sure the Displayname of the Item is EXACTLY written like a Player that was at least once on YOUR server already? [by Exactly I meant case sensitive aswell]

 

L33m4n123 yep, I do it exactly like my IGN

 

Try adding this line to your program, before the whole "Player p = ...";

Code:

System.out.println("Item name: '" + name + "'");

Sometimes what happens to me is there's an extra space or weird character floating around. Printing it out with single quotes will usually tell you if that's the case.

 

FinalFred actually, it is a space! how can I fix? Because, it says
Can't open inventory. The player<two_spaces>is not real!

 

Bukkit.getPlayerExact(name.trim());

 

1Rogue Thanks!
