How do I refer to a target player in a FOR statement?

Lets say for example I use this code (sender is already defined, trying to refer to a player in a for statement, resulting in a particleeffect playing):

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender p, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
  
for (Player player : Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0])) {
   ParticleEffect.WATER_SPLASH.display(10, 15, 0, 0, 0, sender.getLocation().add(0, 0, 0), 25);
}
}

 

May want to start with examples that would work to begin with...

 

The way you've set up your server, Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]) would only return the one player specified, provided it's a valid player. As rbrick said, please specifiy what you're trying to do with greater detail.

 

@oceantheskatr @rbrick Ok I edited it

 

@ForbiddenGaming To me it looks like you are trying to play a particle effects on a loop.
If that's the case then you want to use a repeating task.
Save a BukkitTask somewhere, and whenever you want to stop the effect get that task and call cancel() on it.

 

567legodude makes a good point. If you do not understand how to do that, however, you can write your code like this:

Code:

for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
if (p.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("username")) {
ParticleEffect.WATER_SPLASH.display(10, 15, 0, 0, 0, sender.getLocation().add(0, 0, 0), 25);
}
}

I am typing this from my phone, so I may not have written this write, so correct me if I'm wrong!
