Send a message to players on ArrayList?

Hi! em..
How can i send a message to a players on a ArrayList? :s

 

@iLalox Depends on how you store the player's information. If you store their instance (which you shouldn't, as it is bad practice and causes memory leaks), then just simply get the player from the array and send them a message. If you store their names or UUID, get it from the array and use Bukkit.getPlayer() and then send them the message.

 

Storing players in collections isn't bad practice. Forgetting to remove them is.

 

You could loop through all the players on the server, and then test if the array list contains the player.

Code:

for (Player p : Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
    if (arraylist.contains(p) {
      p.sendMessage(message)
    }
}

 

@Vextricity That completely gets rid of the point of the list. Just loop through the list.

 

Well at least he didn't spoonfeed code that would solve the OP's problem. The OP should take that and make it work for him, now that it's out there.
