New Bukkit.getPlayer() methode??

Hey,
I want to write a nick plugin and ich have the Problem that the Methode Bukkit.getPlayer too old is. So i want to ask you if it gives an Alternative? I have a second problem. Ich change the Display name and List name. How I can chang the name back with the command /nickoff <Player>

Thank You ;-)

PS: Sorry for my bad English I'm from Germany

No, it is not "too old". It still works and still will return the player with the specified UUID/name. If you are worried about the "Deprecation" warning, don't be. It is only there to let people know they should try to use UUIDs instead of names.

 

Thank you but can you help how I can get with the DislplayName the Player

 

@GamingChrisYT
Player#getName()

 

But than I have the Real Player name I think.

 

Yes but how I can get the Display name of an other Player?

 

Bukkit.getPlayer(Playername or UUID).getDisplayName()?

 

And wahtt is if I have only an Display Name?

That I wrote for this methode, but ther is a mistake:

if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("nickoff")&& sender.hasPermission("adminjoin.cmd.nick")){
if (args.length == 0){
p.setDisplayName(p.getName());
p.setPlayerListName(p.getName());
p.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("adminjoin.nickoffcmd"));
}
if (args.length == 1){

if (Bukkit.getPlayer().getDisplayName() == args[0]){

}

}

}

 

@GamingChrisYT

Code:java

 
if (Bukkit.getPlayer().getDisplayName().equals(args[0])){
 
}
 

Bukkit.getPlayer(String or UUID).getDisplayName()

Let's say we have Bob and i wanted to print out bobs name to the console.

I would.

Code:java

 
TheLogger(Bukkit.getPlayer("Bob").getDisplayName());
 

so it would look something like if we took and used yours
First we make the if statement. then we get the player Bob with Bukkit.getPlayer("Bob"), after that we get the displayname by Player#getDisplayName(). Now we check if that equals the variable args[0], and that is pretty much it.

Code:java

 
if (Bukkit.getPlayer("Bob").getDisplayName().equals(args[0]){
 
}
 

Do you understand?

If it is you are trying to get the current player who send the command you have to do something else.

You would first check if the sender is an instanceof Player, then you would make a variable that has sender cast to Player. Then you can check the differents things. Like this

Code:java

 
 
if (sender instanceof Player){
Player player = (Player) sender;
if (player.getDisplayName().equals(args[0])){
 
}
}
 

 

but than I have the Mistake "The method getPlayer(String) in the type Bukkit is not applicable for the arguments ()"

But I haven't In our example Bob but nur the Display name

Strings cannot be compared using ==. Always use .equals for strings.

This error means you are not actually providing a player name/uuid inside the parameters. Provide either the name or uuid of the player you want to get. The thing is, you do not want this.

Since you want to get the player whose display name is equal to args[0], you will need to for loop through all the players. Use the following bit of code for this:

Code:

for(Player online : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
 if(online.getDisplayName().equals(args[0])){
  //Do what you want.
 }
}
