    Soo, I'm introducing a very simple idea to tracking, name recognition. To those who don't know, if you don't complete someone's name, you can enter in the first few words of their name and press Tab to complete it. It shows the possible names (and you can switch to each one by keep on pressing Tab) if there are multiple matches for the letters you typed.

    Well, this should be implemented in tracking, usually when you type a command that's supposed to be for players (Ex: you do '/msg' then after that you enter in a few letters then press Tab to autocomplete it to find the player's name) it autocompletes. But when I type '/track' and enter in a few letters and press Tab, it does nothing. I'm pretty sure this is due to the plugin not expecting player names to be put in for some reason. I suggest that this should be added, the plugin SHOULD accept player names as inputs resulting in easy autocomplete.

    This is for lazy people, but easy to fix and could be really helpful for tracking people with confusing names and such :v.

    Easy ways around this are typing the first 3 or 4 letters of the ign. You also can tab the name and then put /track in front of it.

    Hm, thanks for info. I listen for the argument to be a player name, and I do tab and it works fine :v. But I'm guessing TabComplete looks for arguments, like there was an "if{}" for different arguments you press Tab and it auto-completes it. Nevermind I'm startin' to confuse myself. So basically I want it to autocomplete teh name.

    If you just use the previous message (if it was /track name) then it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

    What if you're tracking different people :v, I mainly use it at spawn so I still think this could be useful.

    Sorry but this made my day.

    I was so kind to do the coders' work. :V
    Code:
    @Override
    public List<String> onTabComplete(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String arg, String[] args) {
        List<String> ret = new ArrayList<String>();
        if (sender instanceof Player) {
            if (cmd.getLabel().equalsIgnoreCase("track")) {
                if (args.length > 0) {
                    for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                        if (p.getName().toLowerCase().contains(args[0].toLowerCase())) {
                            ret.add(p.getName());
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return ret;
    }
