getPlayerByUUID doesn't work ?

[Armanse]

Hi i have couple of question about the getPlayerByUUID method. 

First: Does the UUID change when i quit and govback into the game?

Second: when i tried to use getPlayerByUUID and i put the uuid of a player in it like that for example:

this.player = this.level.getPlayerByUUID(UUID.fromString(this.key));
this.player.kill();

My game crashes and i really don't know why.

Is there any alternatives to get a player? Am i doing it wrong ?

Furthermore my goal here is to "save" the player in a compoundTag that's why i'm using uuids. Ty for helping me

where do you need the player? show more of your code

[Armanse]

What i need is the player yes. When i run the game its ok but when the method player.kill() is being proccessed the game just crashes and it does that with send message, changedimension and basicly every other methode that the "player" can use that's why i think the problem comes from getPlayerByUUID. Here is the post log:

Hi!

As you can see here:

1 hour ago, Armanse said:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Player.kill()" because "this.player" is null

this.level.getPlayerByUUID(UUID.fromString(this.key));

is null and I think that 

this.key

is causing the problem.

Try adding a null test:

this.player = this.level.getPlayerByUUID(UUID.fromString(this.key));
if (this.player != null) {
  this.player.kill();
} else {
  System.out.println("Player is null!")
}

show more you your code, since you normally shouldn't use getPlayerByUUID
