How to display offline player name in a team scoreboard?

Hello everyone,

I'm doing a team system and it have a scoreboard that displays all the teams members, but, when a player logs out, it will return a null value, so i can't display the player name in the scoreboard. How could i do it?

Sorry for my bad english.

 

Hello. You can simply use OfflinePlayer instead of Player for when they are offline. OfflinePlayer#getName will return their name. When online, you can convert OfflinePlayer to Player using OfflinePlayer#getPlayer. Hope this helped!

I tried it, but still not working.

Here's my code:

Code:

                Objective.setDisplayName(Team.getTeam(players) + " (HP%)");
                Objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);
                for (UUID team : Team.getMembers()) {
                    if (Team.members.get(team).equalsIgnoreCase(Team.getTeam(players))) {
                        OfflinePlayer mates = Bukkit.getPlayer(team);
                        if (mates!=null) {
                            double hp = ((CraftPlayer) mates).getHealth() / 2.0D * 10.0D;
                            Score Var = Objective.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(ChatColor.GREEN + mates.getName()));
                            Var.setScore((int) hp);
                        } else {
                            Score Var = Objective.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("" + mates.getName()));
                            Var.setScore(-1);
                        }

                    }
                }

}

}​

 

Hello again,

The reason it is not working is because you are checking if "mates" is NULL, and then you are getting the Player by the Null variable.. getPlayer# returns null if they are offline.

This should be:

Code:

Objective.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(team).getName());

 

It works! Thank you so much
