Help - Converting CraftPlayer{name=}

Hey,

I've recently been developing a plugin although I've reached a stuck point where I'm trying to make the console run a command (from another plugin) using the sender's username.

Of course, I use: bukkit.dispatchCommand(sender, "command " + sender) although it will not work as it is making the sender's name: CraftPlayer{name=<name>}
For example: CraftPlayer{name=<name>}

How can I make a string of JUST the sender's raw username?

Thanks,
~Rocky_990

1. Cast sender to player with check:

Code:

if(sender isntanceof Player){
    Bukkit.dispatchCommand(sender, "command  " + ((Player) sender).getName());
}

 

@Rocky_990 sender.getName() ?

 

@Rocky_990 Always check the Javadocs for the relevant methods when you're entirely sure about the class that you're dealing with Of course, I'd link the official ones but they've been down for a long time with no effort to bring them back

You can always use some unoffical ones if you like, there're plenty on this thread.

 

Booth ConsoleCommandSender and Player have the method .getName() (in the console it returns "CONSOLE")

 

@FisheyLP The important thing is that CommandSender has getName(), not that ConsoleCommandSender and Player have it If those two had it, but CommandSender didn't, the cast would indeed be necessary. In this case, it is not.

 

With "they have the method" I meant from the superclass, sorry

 

@FisheyLP @AdamQpzm @Rocky_990

Even though CommandSender has the method getName(), the OP will still want to check if the sender is a player, because according to the OP post he needs a player name...

 

@meguy26 I know, but:

 

@meguy26 That still doesn't make your cast necessary.

 

@FisheyLP @AdamQpzm
I know that now... I was half asleep when I typed that

 

invoke player#.getName().
