Wheres the getAllPlayers() method?

Im making a plugin that pays players according to their group, but there us no built in function that gives all the players. (both online and offline) ....So, how do it do it?
Thank you.

 

Hm, you could make your plugin use the data folder of the server, which contains all players. You could then strip off the .dat ending and voilà, have a list of all players that ever played on the server (and were not deleted).

 

Could you be so kind as to post some code on how I would do that...? Sorry, I'm still a newbie to plugins, this is actually my first one.

 

Code:java

private static HashSet<OfflinePlayer> getAllExistingPlayers() {
    final List<World> worlds = Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds();
    final HashSet<OfflinePlayer> allPlayers = new HashSet<OfflinePlayer>();
 
    for (World w : worlds) {
        final File f = new File(w.getName() + File.separator + "players" + File.separator);
 
        for (File playerFile : f.listFiles()) {
            allPlayers.add(Bukkit.getServer().getOfflinePlayer(playerFile.getName().substring(0, playerFile.getName().length() - 4)));
        }
    }
 
    return allPlayers;
}

 

Make sure you use all worlds.
looks good

 

how can I make my code look like that? xD I only have HTML and 2 more options :S

 

Code:

[syntax=java]Blub[/syntax]

 

***** Thx

 

Is it possible to get all the players into an array so i can easily loop through them with a for loop?

 

Sure, but you can do that with a Set, List, or anything like that

Code:java

 
for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
if (p.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("tips48")) {
System.out.println("Cool player found!");
}  else {
System.out.println("Eww, its " + p.getName());
}
}
 

 

So...

Code:

[syntax=java]
for(Player p : getAllExistingPlayers)
{
    if(p.hasPermission("group.member")
    {
         code to pay user according to group
    }
    else if(p.hasPermission("group.admin")
    {
         code to pay user according to group
    }
}
[/syntax]

Something that that would work? I put nodes in each of the groups so i could find out whose in which group according to nodes...

 

I would check admin before member, but yes. it should work

 

Oh, because of inheritance?

 

Yep

 

-__- its telling me to change type of p to OfflinePlayer...

 

Your using the wrong method then
Use Server.getOnlinePlayers()

 

in place of getAllExsistingPlayers()?

Heres a pic on the segment of my code:

Inserting a pic doesnt seem to be working so, http://www.freeimagehosting.net/9073f

 

Yes

 

But I need to get all players, not just online ones.

 

Oh?
Then do what you had and change to OfflinePlayer

 

How would I loop through the output of that and check each player for a certain permission?
