Help with auto broadcasting system.

Hello i would like to ask how to get my auto broadcasting system to advertise when there is players on only. here is my code.

Code:

publicintbroadcastnumber = 0;





publicstatic Plugin plugin;


public void Broadcasts() {


final int time = getConfig().getInt("Time");


Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(Alerts.plugin, new Runnable() {

public void run() {


if (broadcastnumber == 0) {

int broadcasts = getConfig().getStringList("Broadcasts").size();

broadcastnumber = broadcasts;

}


String header = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("Header"));

Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(header);


String message = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getStringList("Broadcasts").get(broadcastnumber - 1));

Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(message);


String footer = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("Footer"));

Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(footer);


broadcastnumber = broadcastnumber - 1;





}

},0, 20 * time);


}

 

@drillzy

1. Inside the task
2. If the online player count is not equal to 0 (Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().size() != 0 )
3. broadcast the message.

 

sorry but i didn't fully understand you on where that code belongs to inside the code.

 

Add a repeating task in onEnable
Make a random chance
if chance = 1 {
bukkit.broadcastMessage("1");
}
if chance = 2 {
bukkit.broadcastMessage("2");
}
etc..

 

@drillzy I think he said:

Do not run the task if there are no players online.
Broadcast the message with Bukkit.broadcastMessage("message");
And of course you should start the task on your onEnable.

 

if (Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() != 0) {
theschedueltaskname(); (which in this case is Broadcasts)
}


I think that's what he meant but you can arrange it differently. I'm not 100% sure but try it out anyway .

Does anyone know how you can make an arraylist for a few different scheduelers?
