Creating a player object

This is probably a really noob question, but:

I want to make a plugin were when a player uses the command /letout playername it'll teleport playername outside of the bedrock spawn box we have to a set location. I understand how to set up onPlayerCommand(), but I don't understand how to make a new player object (playername) so I can use player.move(coordinates)

I only see data types in the javadocs for PlayerXXXEvent, not a plain Player.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: I actually found the player object, but I don't get how to initialize it for a certain username.

 

Player is an interface. The implementation is provided by CraftBukkit and should probably not be directly instantiated, as it will depend upon MC server internals -- at least an entity reference. If the player doesn't exist within the server instance (methods: matchPlayer, getOnlinePlayers, etc.) I would not recommend trying to instantiate one.
If the player in question is offline, it might be better to setup some meta-information the onPlayerJoin event will read and process the next time the player logs in. If you use this mechanism, remember to remove the meta-information once its been processed.

 

So there's no way to directly check if someone is online / teleport them just given a username?

And if not, could I use server.getOnlinePlayers and search for the player in that array, then teleport him/her?

I am trying to use getOnlinePlayers, but I don't know how to get a server object, much like the player object.

 

You can do server.getPlayer("playername") and then check the return.
If it is not null then the player is online.

EDIT: from the main class you can do Player player = this.getServer().getPlayer("playername");

 

Thank you Yurij! I think I have the player part sorted out, but I can't seem to create a location to teleport to. This gives me errors:

Code:

Location teleplace = (totele.getWorld(), 86, 93, -275);

totele is the person that I'm trying to teleport, and the coordinants came from /coords in the essentials plugin. (I know this is a hardcoded location with no preferences file, but I'm starting off simple)

 

should be:

Code:

Location teleplace = totele.getWorld().getBlockAt(86,93,-275).getLocation();

Your line is not java. Maybe a basic java tutorial could help you getting started.

 

Ah, thanks. I was reading the javadocs and I saw this line:

Code:

public Location(World world,
   double x,
   double y,
   double z)

and so that's how I tried to define it.

I'm having trouble now though. I think all the code is done, but I get this error when I start my server:

Code:

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

You could have done Location teleplace = new Location(totele.getWorld(), 86, 93, -275);

If I would guess, the problem is in the onEnable method, but I am not sure.
Can we have a look at the source?

 

The last sentence of my post was a link to the source

 

No you only included the compiled files

 

Oh sorry.

 

I got 3 errors after adding project to eclipse.

How I solved them:
1. Remove line "import com.bukkit.colecf.Basic.BasicPlayerListener;" from LetOut.java
2. change "public Server server;" to "public static Server server;" in LetOut.java
3. "tolete.teleportTo(teleplace);" in LetOutPlayerListener.java is misspelled. Should be "totele.teleportTo(teleplace);"

After fixing that it didnt throm any errors on server startup

 

1. Oops. Too much copy/pasting from an example program
2. I never really understood the prefixes to a variable declaration. Guess I better look that up.
3. Oops again.

Thanks for your help Yurij! It's working now.

 

Im glad I could help
