Solved What to cast

I was watching a youtube tutorial on making a cooldown. I followed along fine, everything was cool until i got to having to cast.

Code:

((Object) Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler()).scheduleSyncedDelayedTasks(this, new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        cd.remove(player);
                        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN+"Your cooldown has worn off!");
                    }
                }, 8*20);

So i get that i'm supposed to change the cast (Object), but the video for some reason doesn't and i have no idea what to change the cast to
halp.

 

@DogeDebugger Why on earth are you trying to cast... I don't understand.

 

eclipse is forcing me to.

 

@DogeDebugger Please post entire code.

 

Listener:
(Sorry if i tick you off from a stupid mistake, beek some time since i've been back to java)

Code:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;

import me.Thomas.Main;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;

public class Creeper implements Listener {

    public static Main plugin;
    ArrayList<Player> cd = new ArrayList<Player>();

    @EventHandler
    public void explode(final PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        final Player player = event.getPlayer();

        ItemStack item = player.getItemInHand();
        if (item != null && item.hasItemMeta()
                && item.getItemMeta().hasDisplayName()) {
            if (item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName()
                    .equalsIgnoreCase("Blast Powder")) {
                if(cd.contains(player)) {
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED+"You are on cooldown!");
                    return;
                }
                Location loc = player.getLocation();
                int x = loc.getBlockX();
                int y = loc.getBlockY();
                int z = loc.getBlockZ();
                player.getLocation().getWorld()
                        .createExplosion(x, y, z, (float) 3.0, false, false);
                cd.add(player);
                 Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncedDelayedTasks(this, new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        cd.remove(player);
                        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN+"Your cooldown has worn off!");
                    }
                }, 8*20);
            }
        }
    }

}
   

 

@DogeDebugger And it's "forcing" you to cast the scheduler?

 

@DogeDebugger Well I just noticed that you have 'scheduleSyncedDelayedTasks' but that doesn't exist... It should be 'scheduleSyncDelayedTask'.

 

It has another error with 3 choices: Cast Plugin to my class (this), change to scheduleAsyncDelayedTask, or have Creeper implement Plugin. I'm really stuck :I

 

@DogeDebugger You have to pass an instance of the class that extends JavaPlugin to the event...

 

I'll try, thanks <3

Like this, right?

Code:

Main main = new Main();

 

@DogeDebugger No, that would cause some major issues. You should create a constructor and when you create an instance of the class that you have the runnable it, pass an instance of Main.

 

o, a constructor...
alright, thanks. so instance in constructor?

 

@DogeDebugger Yes, you pass an instance of the Main class in the constructor.

 

Understand. Thanks.

@nverdier

Code:

 public Creeper(Main m) {
    m = new Main();
    }

ye?

@DogeDebugger Facepalm. You create a variable in the class, then you initialize it inside the constructor with the value that is passed.

 

Sorry...once again, coming back from some time.

Code:

 public static Main plugin;
   
    public Creeper() {
    plugin = new Main();
    }

 

@DogeDebugger No static. Do you know the concept of OOP? And you have to pass an instance of main. Why are you creating a new instance of Main? I have been telling you that you have to pass an instance, and to not create a new instance.

 

Using magic and love, i fixed it \

Thanks so much @nverdier
