How to cancel a repeating class after a certain number of iterations

I would like to cancel a Bukkit runnable sync repeating task after it went through a certain amout of iterations or time. How would I get about doing this?

I tried to cancel it from within it's self using a if statement to track the number of times it went thoguh but that's doesn't seem to work

Code:java

final int stop = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        boolean stopIt = false;
                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("cancel");
                        if (plugin.kit.get(player) != "terrorist" && stopIt == false || player.isDead() && stopIt == false) {
                            Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(tasktnt);
                            Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(countDown);
                            Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(stopExplode);
                            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("switch/died");
                            stopIt = true;
                        } else {
                            if (player.getMaxHealth() - player.getHealth() > 2 && stopIt == false) {
                                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("hit");
                                stopIt = true;
                                Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(tasktnt);
                                Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(countDown);
                                Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(stopExplode);
 
                                org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack fuse = new ItemStack(Material.SULPHUR);
                                ItemMeta meta1 = fuse.getItemMeta();
                                List<String> lores1 = new ArrayList<String>();
                                lores1.add("§7§oRight click to suicide");
                                meta1.setDisplayName("§rFuse");
                                meta1.setLore(lores1);
                                fuse.setItemMeta(meta1);
                                player.getInventory().addItem(fuse);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }, 0L, 1L);

 

moo3oo3oo3 Increment an integer, check if the integer equals 10 as an example, cancel the runnable.

 

But I can't cancel it from within, so I have to make another repeating task to check if it reaches the right number. That means I fixed one problem but created another...

What's stopping you from canceling it in the task?

 

eclipse is giving me an error when I try to cancel a repeating task inside the repeating task I'm trying to cancel saying, "The local variable may not have been initialized"

 

moo3oo3oo3

.......well don't not initialize a local variable?

 

Don't not = do, so you just said "well do initialize a local variable?"

 

moo3oo3oo3

Indeed I did, but I don't see how that has any relevance to the task at hand.

 

moo3oo3oo3 use a BukkitRunnable instead of a Runnable, then you can simply invoke cancel(). Do note, don't use the scheduler to schedule BukkitRunnables, use the runTask methods BukkitRunnable supplies to schedule the task.

 

example?

Code:java

class ... extends BukkitRunnable {
 
public void run() {
cancel();
}
}
