how to get the player in onEnable()

as title says, how do i? there has to be a way.

 

What do you mean? OnEnable() occurs when the plugin is started up. There is no player involved.

 

Do you mean when a player joins the server? There is an event for that

 

Im looking for a way to constantly update particles on a player so they run forever if they are enabled, the only way i know how to do this is by using a Bukkit Scheduler and running it every certain interval, but to run the particles inside the scheduler, i need the player instance, but the scheduler is comming from onEnable() so i cant use any of the normal means of getting the player instance. someone told me to put this inside the scheduler but i do not know what to do next, do i just merely plug my player particle method inside it?

Code:

        for(Player online : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {

        }

this is the code i want to use that needs the player

Code:

        Location location = player.getLocation();
        location.setY(location.getY() - 2);
        if (cloud.contains(player.getUniqueId())) {
            player.spawnParticle(Particle.CLOUD, location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ(), 1);
        }
        }

"cloud" comes from an arraylist that is connected to UUID.

 

@EssentialsPissesMeOff That's an enhanced for loop, it's getting a collection of all the online players, and then iterating over them, which means you now have a player instance.
Then you check if they should have the particles, and finally you spawn the particles.
I'm not sure i explained that well enough, let me know if you don't understand what i mean.

 

i can somewhat understand but im stupid so...

 

Well, give it a shot. If it fails to work as you expect, post the code you tried.
