Checking server time.

I need to check the time in ticks automatically every few seconds (read: 100 ticks) I was wondering how I would do this?

I was thinking that an ASync task would be the best way, but I then thought that I shouldn't use it to call a Bukkit method.

Any suggestions?

 

WeeSkilz, Depends you could use a task as long as it doesn't execute that much code otherwise it will slowly destroy the server and it won't be able to keep up xD

 

WeeSkilz

For what purpose?

 

WeeSkilz Like time since the server has started? Or System.currentTimeMillis?

 

To run an operation at a certain time in the Minecraft day.

Server day time, in ticks.

 

WeeSkilz Why not just use a task?

 

That was suggested to me yesterday. I think that's what I'll do.

 

WeeSkilz I wouldn't go with async unless you needed to, though. And if you do go with async, don't call the Bukkit API.

 

Of course
