Countdown Timer

So I have a countdown timer and it's fully functional it goes down from minutes and then once it's at 1 minute it goes to 50 seconds, 40 seconds, and so on to 10 seconds and then 0. However it doesn't countdown 9, 8 , 7, 6 , etc.. I'm pretty awful with 'timers' anyone willing to help me out? This should be all the code you need to help me, I'll like whomever helps. Thanks in advance!

Code:java

 
 
public void startCountdown() {
countdown_id = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
int time = COUNTDOWN_TIME * 60;
boolean timer_started = false;
 
public void run() {
if (!timer_started) {
setCountdownTime(time / 60, false);
timer_started = true;
} else {
time -= 10;
 
if (time < 0)
Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(countdown_id);
else {
if (time % 60 == 0 && time / 60 >= 1)
setCountdownTime(time / 60, false);
else if (time < 60)
setCountdownTime(time, true);
}
}
}
 
}, 10, 200);
}
 
public void setCountdownTime(int time_left, boolean seconds) {
if (time_left != 0 && !seconds)
HcChat.broadcastMessage(time_left + " minute" + (time_left != 1 ? "s" : "") + " until game starts!");
else if (time_left > 0 && seconds) {
HcChat.broadcastMessage(time_left + " seconds until game starts!");
} else {
startGame();
}
 
TIME_LEFT = time_left;
TIME_SECONDS = seconds;
}
 

Bump?

Don't bump your own threads more than once per hour. We can all see them, and some of the devs go out of their way as to go to the 2nd page, 3rd page, etc. Until they find an unsolved thread.

Doesn't even look like you tried to declare what happens when the time is less than or equal to 10 seconds left in the timer.

 

Sorry Zeus, and your right I haven't because I don't know how.

Bump.

Code:java

  int CountDownValue = 61;
  public static boolean startCountDown = false;
  final Timer timer1 = new Timer();
  TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
    public void run() {
      if(startCountDown == true){
 
      CountDownValue--;
 
      if (CountDownValue == 60 || CountDownValue == 50 || CountDownValue == 40 || CountDownValue == 30 || CountDownValue == 20 || CountDownValue < 11) {
        Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(CountDownValue + " seconds remaining");
      }
      else if (CountDownValue == 0) {
        this.startCountDown = false;
        CountDownValue = 61;
        //insert your code here
      }
      }
    }
  };

onEnable, insert :

Code:java

timer1.schedule(task, 0, 1000);

to start the countdown, simply set the value of startCountDown to true.

 

I'd really prefer to use schedulers, to be more efficient.

Bump.

You're doing time -= 10, subtracting 10 each time. So it will never go 9, 8, 7, 6.... because you're doing 10 at a time.
You need to do one at a time (time -= 1 or better yet time--)
And the ONLY display it if the time is divisible by 10 *or* less than 10
if (time % 10 == 0 || time <= 10) { ... }

 

Okay let me try this..

Can you give me some example code please?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Try this:
You must only change YourMainPluginName to the name of the main of your plugin.

Code:

    public int timer = 2400;
   
    YourMainPluginName plugin;
 
    public void Timer() {
       
        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
           
            public void run() {
               
                if(timer != 2400) {   
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Last 20 minutes!");
                    timer--;
                }
               
                if(timer != 1200) {
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Last 10 minutes!");
                    timer--;
                }
               
                if(timer != 600) {
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Last 5 minutes!");
                    timer--;
                }
               
                if(timer != -1) {
                    if(timer != 0) {
                        Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "The timer is finished, do something!");
                        timer--;
                    }
                }
               
            }         
        }, 0L, 2400L);
    }

 

This is actually almost exactly what I have but mine is more efficient
and configurable your's is crude and hard coded,

 

He was just giving an example :3
You can customize it however you want

 

The thing is mine works perfectly but Idk how to make it so that once it hits 10 seconds it changes -= 10 to -=1

 

Code:java

time -= 10;

to

Code:java

time--;

or

Code:java

time = (time - 1);

and change the timer to 1 second

 

20 ticks in 1 second right?

 

yup

 

Just tried this code and if I set it to 1200 which should be 1 minute it counts down super fast and yeah... its like the countdown is going down like not 1 second by 1 second buy like 60 seconds at a time..

Code:java

 
public void startCountdown() {
 
Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
 
public void run() {
if (COUNTDOWN_TIME != 1200) {
HcChat.broadcastMessage("1 minute until game starts!");
COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 600) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("30 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 200) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("10 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 180) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("9 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 160) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("8 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 140) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("7 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 120) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("6 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 100) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("5 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 80) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("4 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 60) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("3 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 40) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("2 seconds until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if(COUNTDOWN_TIME != 20) {
               HcChat.broadcastMessage("1 second until game starts!");
               COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
                }
if (COUNTDOWN_TIME != -1) {
if (COUNTDOWN_TIME != 0) {
startGame();
COUNTDOWN_TIME--;
}
}
 
}
}, 0L, 200L);
}
 

 

try using my method of counting then...

NOTE : Change the value of COUNTDOWN_TIME from ticks to seconds and add one second to it

Code:java

public void startCountdown() {
 
int count = COUNTDOWN_TIME;
 
countdown_id = Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable()) {
 
public void run() {
 
//note : I changed the timer to 20L so the value of count is in seconds
 
count--;
 
if(count == 60){
HcChat.broadcastMessage("1 minute until game starts!");
}
 
if(count == 30 || count == 20 || count < 11){
HcChat.broadcastMessage(count + " seconds until game starts!");
}
 
if(count == 0){
startGame();
Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(countdown_id);
}
 
}
}, 0L, 20L);
}

 

What exactly is 20L or what does it mean?

 

It means the value "20" in a long.
For example, you can say :

Long long = 10;

It will be the same as

Long long = 10L;
'
Before in early java, you was not able to assign an Integer value to a long so they added the "L" to specify the difference.

 

Idk why for the life of my it will not let me edit the number like if I do int count = COUNTDOWN_TIME * 60; so that it's in minutes like 1 = 60 which is one minute. It won't let me it just nulls the fuck out and basically ignores it.

 

Da faq?

Edit : Ik this is the same thing but it will give you an idea whether the value COUNTDOWN_TIME is null

Code:java

int count = COUNTDOWN_TIME;
count = (count * 60);

 

Hey I got another question, when a player dies they are kicked right. How can I make it so it doesn't show "name has left the game" when kicking a player?

 

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onKick(PlayerKickEvent evnet){
e.setLeaveMessage(null);
}

 

Code:java

public void countDown() {
        Countdown = this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                if( (Time % 10) == 0 && Time != 0) {
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "The game will begin in " + Time + " seconds!");
                } else if( Time == 0 ) {
                    inProgress = true;
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.RED + "The games have begun!");
                    Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(Countdown);
                }
                Time--;
            }
        }, 0L, 20L);
    }

 

Kazzababe

Hey Kazzababe, you have not stated the variable declarations in your code? I do not understand what each variable equals. hehe

 

Eballer48

I know this post is long gone, but you would have to do a cancel(); method, then restate your method as: countdown =- 1;

 

Seriously dude...
