How do I add Target in my PlayerMoveEvent? Please Help!

You know how you normally do Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers(args[0]); to get target. Well I can't find out how to do that in an Event. Please Help!

Code:

package me.flashthedev.freeze;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerMoveEvent;

public class Freeze implements CommandExecutor, Listener {
  
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        Player target =
      
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
      
        return false;
    }
}

 

Judging by what you have there, i think you're trying to freeze a player you specify in a command...
What i usually do is (in the onCommand method) check if the player args[0] is null, if not then add the online player to an arraylist. If he was already added, i remove him from the array list.

Then, all the players in the arraylist will be subjected to event.setCancelled(true);.
Just gonna give a little code here:

*Remember to create an arraylist beforehand*
onCommand:
//Instanceof checks, permission checks, null check etc {
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("freeze")) {
if (args.length < 0) {
//args to player
if (!this.myarraylist.contains(p.getName())) {
// add to arraylist, send message to command sender etc
return true;
} else
{
// remove from arralyist, send message to command sender etc
return true;
}

event:
Player p = event.getPlayer();
if (myarraylist.contains(p.getName())) {
e.setCancelled(true);

 

@RRGaming true but using event.setCancelled is a rather poor way to freeze. There's another method that is better called event.setTo(event.getFrom); this method is better than the last but if you still want the player's heads moving around. While they're frozen there's a method for that too.

 

@FlashTheDev
1. Are you trying to assign the target variable to the player that moved? Most events that extend PlayerEvent (all events that have anything to do with a player) have a method called getPlayer() which returns the player associated with the event, in this case, the player that moved.

2. To prevent him from moving, do what @Mindlessmink suggested and set the to location to the from location.

Code:

event.setTo(event.getFrom());

3. If you want the player's head to be able to move, you'll need to create a new location that for the X, Y, and Z values you used the values from event.getFrom(), but you want to keep the values from event.getTo() from the pitch and yaw.

Code:

Location newTo = new Location(event.getTo().getWorld(), event.getFrom().getX(), event.getFrom().getY(), event.getFrom().getZ(), event.getTo().getYaw(), event.getTo().getPitch());
event.setTo(newTo);

 

Oh, did not know that. I usually use set speed to 0 or cancel movement... Thanks anyways

Simpler point 3:

Code:java

event.setTo(event.getFrom().setDirection(event.getTo().getDirection()))
