Getting Player name when clicked on.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been already answered but I can not find the answer.

I am trying to make a party/grouping system and the only hurdle left is to get the player name.

So when I (right) click on a player I want to be able to get their displayname, but I am forever getting null returned to me.

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEntityEvent e) {
        Entity entity = e.getRightClicked();
        Player playersel = (Player) e.getPlayer(); //This part is non-functional
        if (!(entity instanceof Player)) return;
        if (e.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD)) return;
                menu.show(e.getPlayer(), playersel);
        }

With this method I can get my menu to show, but if I switch to PlayerInteractEvent the menu doesn't even appear.

So to be clear, I do not need the player that caused the interact, I need the target player of the interact.

Can anyone help?

zanginator what does the menu.show() do?

 

It opens a custom inventory giving the player the option to add or remove the selected player to or from a party.

 

zanginator mind giving me your whole class? Then I will try to solve it for you.

 

Code:java

**Omitted**
 
public class PartySystem extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
    private PartySystemInv menu;
 
 
    public void onEnable() {
        menu = new PartySystemInv(this);
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEntityEvent e) {
        Entity entity = e.getRightClicked();
        Player playersel = (Player) e.getPlayer();
        if(!(entity instanceof Player)) return;
        if (e.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD)) return;
                menu.show(e.getPlayer(), playersel);
        }
}

All I need is to grab the name of the player interacted with.

 

zanginator
Im on it

 

Code:java

if(e.getRightClicked() instanceof Player) {
Player p = (Player) e.getRightClicked();
String playerName = p.getName();
}

 

zanginator nvm, sgavster gave the right code

 

Thanks you both
