Need help getting a player from a command

In the plugin tutorials http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial
It gives the code

Code:

    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("KillPlayer")){
        Player player = (Player)sender;
        Player target = player.getWorld().getPlayer(args[0]);
        target.setHealth(0);
    }
    return false;
}

however, the part

Code:

Player target = player.getWorld().getPlayer(args[0]);

returns an error. Any suggestions of what is wrong or another way of doing this? Thanks.

 

It is capital sensitive.
Might that be the problem?

 

What error specifically is it giving you?

 

Code:java

 
    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("KillPlayer")){
        Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
        if (target != null) {
target.setHealth(0);
} else {
 sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + args[0] + " is not online!");
}
return true;
}     return false; }
 

Doesn't require the sender to be a player... And fixes the error you get
