Solved Vault: Paying an offline player.

So, I cant seem to be able to pay an offline player, but only online players.

My code:

Code:

if (Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(playerSeller[0]) != null)  {
                    Player online = Bukkit.getPlayer(playerSeller[0]);
                    online.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "A user has bought " + amount + " " + itemName + " from you for " + cost[1] + " gold.");
                    mEconomy.econ.depositPlayer(online.getName(), Double.parseDouble(cost[1]));
                   
                }else {
                    OfflinePlayer offline = Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(playerSeller[0]);
                    mEconomy.econ.depositPlayer(offline.getName(), Double.parseDouble(cost[1]));
                }

Not sure if i'm being stupid or...

 

That's likely due to mEconomy functionality. You might have to create a workaround with a payment buffer of sorts by making a file that saves all payments to players that are currently offline, and then whenever someone logs on it checks the file to see if they have any pending payments due to them, and then pays them from the file.

Though of the same thing, im going to try it out.

That will work as well, I've also made one for my server that works with essentials in a way, here's the source:

Thanks, i'll try that out while i'm at it.

 

if you use Vault it contains methods to pay players by their Name, rather than Player object.

 

Whats the method?

 

Method Reference is here:

I'm not sure if mEconomy is supported yet though, and I can't find any economies named that. Were you using it as a shorthand for another plugin?

 

It's my own economy plugin that uses gold for money, thanks for that but I figured it was my mEconomy that wasn't paying offline players.
