How do i find the closest player while using a "essentials:" command?

[Underatedz]

Im making a kinda vanilla server and am making a bank, i want it so that when you click a button it will find the nearest player and take 50 coins away from it. The command i am using is:

"essentials:economy take @p 50"

which would take away 50 coins however the @p argument is not supported on essentials command. Anyone know how to find the closest player on essentials commands?

Thank you in advance

If you have essentials, commands need to be like /plugin:command @p so since you did /essentials:eco take @p it should have worked. Maybe try @s instead. @s is the person who activated the command block.

nope doesnt work, the error is "Error: Player Not Found." 

Essentials does not support the @ arguments i believe. it only works if the "/minecraft:command" is the plugin spot. is there a essentials argument like this?

Not sure then. You can try using a plugin called skript to make commands that does this instead if you want.

All I would kown to do is to just to change the script of the pluging a bit so it works.
