How would I randomly chose a player?

[gmod622]

The title explains everything. How would I randomly chose a player? Is it possible? If you know please tell me, or guide me to a tutorial if needed.

get the list of player, pick one at random

 

must be executed server side:

List playerList = MinecraftServer.getServer().getConfigurationManager().playerEntityList;
int selectedPlayer = (int)(Math.random()*playerList.size());
EntityPlayer theChosenOne = playerList.get(selectedPlayer);
//do stuff with the chosen one

Assuming you know a little about forge/mcp, I'd say start in net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.  Theres a function "func_82010_a" that should be able to help you get list of players.
