Custom /ban Help

Well, as from the title, I'm in need of help with this /ban command. My problem is that how am I supposed to kick the player after you run /ban on them?

Code:java

 if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ban")) {
if(sender.hasPermission("retron.staff.ban")) {
if(args.length == 0) {
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Usage: /ban <player>");
} else {
if(args.length == 1) {
bannedFromServer.add(args[0]);
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You have banned " + ChatColor.YELLOW + "" + args[0] + "" + ChatColor.RED + " from the server!");
}
 
}
}

Thanks in advance,
Wes

 

Cast the Argument to a Player through the Bukkit.getOnlinePlayer(args[0]);. Then if the player != null, kick the player.

You may want to ban them in the config using their UUID, so in 1.8 they can't change their name and join back.

 

ElliottOlson the new system bans the uuid AFAIK

 

TheSpherret What new system? It looks like he is just going to add the player to a List, which is not the best because it is cleared on Server reloads and if the player leaves. If he is creating a custom ban system and just putting their names in a config, it is best to put their UUID and then crosscheck a joining player's UUID with the results in the config to check if they are banned.

 

ElliottOlson the new json system when adding the player's GameProfile to the ban list.....

 

You need to get the player from the arguments then you need to kick them.

Code:java

Player p = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
p.kickPlayer(kickMSG);
