Solved CraftPlayer{name="username"}

Hello. I've been coding a plugin to format chat, and one of the commands is /pm (standing for Private Message). The problem is that when I use Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]) (the 0th arg is the player name), the output is "CraftPlayer{name=Eich}" (if you put my username in for the PM.)

I don't know how to fix this, and it's really bothering me. Here's the code.

Code:

        @Override
        public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
            Player p = Bukkit.getPlayer(sender.getName());
            if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("pm"));
                if (args.length < 2){
                    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Improper Synax! Use /pm (the other player's name) (message)");
                    return false;
                }
                if (args.length >= 2){
                    String msg = "";
                    for (int i = 1; i < (args.length); i++) msg+= args[i] + " ";                   
                    Player target = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
               
                   
                if (target != null){
                   
                    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "You " + ChatColor.YELLOW + " > " + ChatColor.AQUA + target + ":" + ChatColor.ITALIC + " " + ChatColor.GRAY + msg);
                    target.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + p.getName()  + ChatColor.YELLOW + " > " + ChatColor.AQUA + "You" + ChatColor.ITALIC + ": " + ChatColor.GRAY + msg);
                }
       
                    if (target == null){
                        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Error: That player is no longer online.");
                        return true;
                       
           
           
       
                    }
        }
           
            return false;

I'm having the problem with the TARGET. Thanks for the help, everyone!

 

@Eich_ Check sender before casting. Do #getName or #getDisplayName to output their name. #getName does their IGN, #getDisplayName does nickname, prefix, suffix etc.

 

@bwfcwalshy, thank you so much! What a silly mistake. It's working perfectly now.
