Looping Timers, Freezing and No Move.

Hello.

I need help with these 3 problems.

I want a for loop with a delay like:

> Loop 10 times
> Each loop wait 2 seconds
> Perform code
> Return to looping

Also.

When a player moves, if he's in a list return him to the original block

And last.

A timer that waits and only runs when the player hasn't moved in 2 seconds (Pitch and Yaw can be changed)

Thanks

And at what part are you stuck? Did you tried anything yourself yet?

 

For the looping timer i've tried:

Code:java

        for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
            getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable() {
                public void run() {   
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("This line is here to resemble code");
                }
            }, 40);
        }

For freezing i've tried:

Code:java

        @EventHandler
        public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
            if (frozen.contains(event.getPlayer().getName())) {
                event.setCancelled(true);
            }
        }

For the no move i have a pretty good idea on how to do this but i don't know how to check if they only move their feet

 

The best way to achieve this would be probably listening for the PlayerMoveEvent and check if their X-Value or Z-Value changes and only then cancel it.

So. Since you got some code that looks ok by having a fast look. Where are you stuck?

When doing the the loop the for loop is java, the delay is bukkit, meaning that the for loop runs 20 times in 0.01 seconds and launching each delay with 0.002 seconds or so instead of launching the delay waiting till the delay happends then restarting the loop.

 

Oh.

You probably would want to use a RepeatingTask and within the task itself a counter. If it has been running for x times then cancel it within the Task

How do i cancel it?

Note: 20L / 20 Ticks = 1 Second.

1st Part

Define a counter.

Code:java

public int counter = 1;

Now add this.

Code:java

 Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
 
@Override
public void run() {
if(!(counter > 10)){
//perform code
counter++;
}
 
}
 
}, 40L, 0);

2nd Part

Define an arraylist

Code:java

List<String> frozen = new ArrayList<String>();

Now add this.

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent e){
if(frozen.contains(e.getPlayer().getName()){
e.setCancelled(true);
}
 
}

3rd Part

Define an arraylist

Code:java

List<String> moved = new ArrayList<String>();

If they are not in the moved list when they move , add them to the list. Then , use a scheduler to remove them after 2 seconds. If they are in the moved list , cancel the move event.

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent e){
if(!moved.contains(e.getPlayer().getName()){
moved.add(e.getPlayer().getName());
Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run(){
moved.remove(e.getPlayer().getName());
}
}, 40L);
}else{
e.setCancelled(true);
}
 
}

 

I'd like to say rather not to do it this way since this will keep running the Task just with no code

Code:java

int taskID; //so we cancel it from inside
taskID = Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
  @Override
  public void run() {
    if(!(counter > 10)){
      //perform code
      counter++;
    } else {
      Bukkit.cancelTask(taskID); // will cancel the task once the counter hits 10
    }
  }
}, 40L, 0);
