Scoreboards keep flashing

Hey I am trying to created a scoreboard for my lobby server but it flashes randomly every 2-3 seconds here is my code hope you guys can help me.

Code:java

package com.network.xex;
 
 
 
import com.xexnetwork.pointsapi.ps;
import net.milkbowl.vault.permission.Permission;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.RegisteredServiceProvider;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.DisplaySlot;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Objective;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;
 
 
 
public class Core extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
 
    public static Permission permission = null;
 
 
      public void onEnable()
      {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
 
 
 
        setupTimer();
        setupPermissions();
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      }
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
        @Override
        public void onDisable() {
            getLogger().info("Disabling Plugin...");
        }
 
 
 
 
 
        private boolean setupPermissions() {
            RegisteredServiceProvider<Permission> permissionProvider = getServer()
                    .getServicesManager().getRegistration(
                            net.milkbowl.vault.permission.Permission.class);
            if (permissionProvider != null) {
                permission = permissionProvider.getProvider();
            }
            return (permission != null);
        }
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        public void updateScoreboard(Player player) {
            Scoreboard board = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getNewScoreboard();
 
            String group = permission.getPrimaryGroup(player);
 
 
 
            String pl = player.getName();
 
            Objective obj = board.registerNewObjective("scoreboard", "dummy");
            obj.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);
                obj.setDisplayName(ChatColor.YELLOW + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "XeX Network");
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(ChatColor.GOLD + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Points")).setScore(16);
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("" + ChatColor.BLUE + ChatColor.BOLD +  ps.getBalance(pl))).setScore(15);
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(" ")).setScore(14);
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(ChatColor.GOLD + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Rank")).setScore(13);
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("" + ChatColor.BLUE + ChatColor.BOLD + group)).setScore(12);
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("  ")).setScore(11);
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(ChatColor.GOLD + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Website")).setScore(10);
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("" + ChatColor.BLUE + ChatColor.BOLD + "xex-mc.info")).setScore(9);
                obj.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(ChatColor.BLACK + "-------------")).setScore(8);
 
                player.setScoreboard(board);
 
            }
 
 
 
        public void setupTimer()
        {
            Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable()
            {
                public void run() {
                    for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers())
                    {
                        updateScoreboard(p);             
                    }
                }
            }, 0L, 1L);
        }
 
 
 
 
        @EventHandler
        public void onjoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
            updateScoreboard(e.getPlayer());
        }
 
 
 
}

Sorry about this but I need to bump this.

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

 

It will flash because you're creating a new scoreboard every time you call updateScoreboard(), the only way you can prevent this is, instead of creating a new scoreboard, you need to modify the current one, just change the value of the scores and that.

 

Bump and Konato_K how?

 

Aussie_Jhawking try declaring the scoreboard variable outside of the method and reference it within the method and it might fix it

 

Aussie_Jhawking Declare the scoreboard outside the method, so it will only define when the server enables. You should declare the Objective too so you can access scores with objective.getScore... and then its just change the score

 

...alternatively you can set the scoreboard once then get the scoreboard using player.getScoreboard() and then edit the values.
