Using a username as a variable question

I am trying to use a username in a command line function and was curious on how to get this to work.

The code below is what I am currently using.



if(command.length == 3)
{

Player onlinePlayers = plugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers();​

for(int i=0; i<onlinePlayers.length; i++)​

{​

if (command[2] == onlinePlayers.getName())​

{​

//do stuff​

fail = false;​

break;​

}​

else​

fail = true;​

}
}

I also used toString() on both and that didn't work either.

 

How are you implementing a console command to begin with? I can't figure that out!

 

String command = event.getMessage().split(" ");

 

That still doesn't explain how you are actually intercepting something sent to the console. Player commands are easy. Console commands... the classes are there, but I don't know how to actually use them, nor can I find any documentation.

 

it is a player command, sorry.

 

Are you looking for plugin.getServer.matchPlayers(String)?

 

That may do the trick!

 

call onlinePlayers as:

Code:

Player[] onlinePlayers = plugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers();

 

That is in the code.

Ok, your suggestion did not work out best.

what I had to do was change the if statement of:
command[2] == onlinePlayers.getName()

to:
command[2].compareToIgnoreCase(onlinePlayers.getName()) == 0

I kinda feel stupid for this one.

 

I thought you had to declare it as Player[ ] instead of just Player, but I may be wrong.

 

It was a problem from me copying over, sorry. So, yes you are correct.
