[1.7.10] Get a Player from a String in the Client

[TheDav1311]

At the server side there is this Method:

 

EntityPlayerMP playerExample = MinecraftServer.getServer().getConfigurationManager().func_152612_a("ExampleGuy");

 

Is there something like that at the client side?

[larsgerrits]

On the client side, there's only ever one player (

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer

).

[Tslat]

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer

 

Perhaps?

2 Things:

 

First:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer

 

Perhaps?

I asked to get a player from a String.

 

Second:

The client must know the other players to render them, right?

And there are EntityClientPlayerMPs and I want to get them.

[Tslat]

The client only needs to know the packets that the SERVER sends it.

 

Your client  won't know how to grab another player, because as far as it knows, there are none.

 

What are you trying to achieve that bars you from using server side?

[TheDav1311]

I want to have a player list on both sides.

 

And here all players at the client side:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.playerEntities;

[larsgerrits]

You can probably iterate through the ArrayList and then check if the name is the name you want.

Thank you, that works fine.
