How to make a player variable compatible with a string

How do I make this work?

Code:java

Player del = pl.getDisplayName();

One is player and the other is a string but how would i make that work?

 

Ehm, I believe you want to do: Player del = getServer().getPlayer(pl.getName())

 

Would you show the string? I'm a bit confused with what you're trying to do. I understand you're trying to make a string compatible with player, but what are you trying to do with it

 

Edit: it is pl.getName() and not display name!

 

CullanP So here is what I want to use it for:

Code:java

 List<Player> players = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld(p.getWorld().getName()).getPlayers();
                                for (Player pl : players) {
                                  Player del = pl.getName();
                                  del.teleport(new Location(... Info));
 
 
                                }

I am trying to get a list of all players in a world and teleport them somewhere when a command is called. But when I do p.sendMessage(Bukkit.getServer().getWorld(p.getWorld().getName()).getPlayers()); it shows [CraftPlayer{name=Caamflyer64}] so the teleport part has no clue what to teleport. But p.sendMessage(pl.getName()); displays the name correctly but as a string and not a player for teleport. Does this clear somethings up?

 

OptimalBread

Code:

for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
Player del = pl.getPlayer();

Instead of using a list, try what I used above

 

are you trying to get all players online in one world and teleport them somewhere?

 

Oh. If he's trying to only teleport players in the one world that the command is issued then I'll change what I posted

 

String name = pl.getDisplayName();

??

 

CullanP Yea patey has it right. all players in one world

 

First off, why aren't you using the existing p.getWorld() and instead getting the same world by going name and back?
Also, you can't just print a list or a player object.

You haven't really explained the problem however.

 

Code:java

for (Player p: Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
 
if (p.getWorld().getName().toLowerCase().equals("world")){
p.teleport(location)
}
 
}

that might do it

 

patey

A World will never be equal to a String under any circumstance. Try again.

 

mythbusterma
hows it look now?

 

patey Yes, but you need a location specified.

 

thats intentional. OptimalBread probably knows where he's sending the player

 

Code:java

Location loc = /* your location to teleport to */;
for (Player p : p1.getWorld().getPlayers()) {
    p.teleport(loc);
}

 

Just take some steps back please. Learn Java. Learn Bukkit. Then come back here and the answer to your question should be pretty obvious.
