Solved Getting if a player is on the server

So i want to knowe if this is a player and if it is on the server right now but i dont knowe how it is done

my code

Code:

String name = args[0];
            for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                if(p.getPlayer().getName() == name){

 

Code:java

 
String possibleplayer = args[X];
for (Player plys : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
        if (plys.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(possibleplayer)) {
              // do stuff
        }
}
 

You pretty much had it correct
E: sorry for bad indentation. Also don't use == unless you're comparing enumerators.

 

@satarskrin @Wispyy
Please don't spoonfeed. You may provide bad code (like what you posted)


@satarskrin
use

Code:

Player player = Bukkit.getPlayer( args[x]);

//Remember to null check. If the player is not online , player will be null.
if(player != null){
  //do stuff
}

 

Just correcting what he did. (Somewhat, didn't cast the string to player etc)
Yours was also somewhat simplified.
