other.hidePlayer(player) don't work

Hi guys,
I am developing a minigame plugin and ran into some troubles. When a player is out, I want him to specate the other player. I try to hide them, for the other players with this code:

Code:

for (Player other : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
other.hidePlayer(p);
}

but the other players still can see the player.
Thank you for helping me.

 

Dont you mean

p.hidePlayer(other);

And check for the same player

Code:

for (Player other : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
if (other != p){
p.hidePlayer(other);
}
}

Failing that, maybe try using potion effects

 

the_merciless I dont what that the other players see the player. So I have to use other.hidePlayer(player) dont I? I dont want to use potions because I dont want the player getting hitted by arrows and that stuff

Even if you use hidePlayer arrows still bounce off and clearly show where the player is

 

other.hideplayer(p)

will make 'player' invisible to 'other'

Edit: corrected

 

xTrollxDudex so hidePlayer has the same effect as a potion? lame...

the_merciless
see the java docs (http://jd.bukkit.org/dev/doxygen/d5...Player.html#ab93da1df9aed2d570e91127b4ab0c9cd)
void org.bukkit.entity.Player.hidePlayer ( Player player )
Hides a player from this player.
Parameters
player Player to hide
so player.hidePlayer(other) will make other invisible for player

That's not the javadocs btw. That's doxygen.

And you just proved his point -_-

No. If you use invisibility arrows stick into in midair. If you use hidePlayer then the arrows "bounce" off of you an imaginary arrow still goes to the area behind you. Key word is imaginary, it will still do damage to the target behind you and will land in the place behind you, you just can't se it once it "hits" you.

 

xTrollxDudex I am a bit tired at the moment .... Ill think tomorrow about this Its confusing
