Make a delay for timer?

its there a way to make a delay to make a timer like thing, I want to make a time counter but im unable to do it with

Code:

int i = 10;
   getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable(){
                public void run(){

                 do{
                getServer().broadcastMessage("Arena starting in"+  i);
                i--;
             }while(i > 0);

                }
                }, 100L, 20L);

because i can't run that since scheduler doesnt allow variables it only allows finals, i tryed with the java mode sleep but it doesnot seem to work.

 

Is it something like this you are looking for?

Code:java

plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                // THIS WILL BE RUN WHEN 3 SECONDS HAS PASSED
            }
        }, 3 * 20L); // 20 ticks = 1 second. So 3*20 ticks = 3 seconds.

 

no really a deleyedtask i need something like reapetingtask so it will repeat until u cancel the sheduler

solved with ta tor hammer

Code:

           getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
               System.out.println("Arena starting in 10");
               getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                   System.out.println("Arena starting in 9");
                   getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                       System.out.println("Arena starting in 8");
                       getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {
                           System.out.println("Arena starting in 7");
                           getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                                public void run() {
                               System.out.println("Arena starting in 6");
                               getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                                    public void run() {
                                   System.out.println("Arena starting in 5");
                                   getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                                        public void run() {
                                       System.out.println("Arena starting in 4");
                                       getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                                            public void run() {
                                           System.out.println("Arena starting in 3");
                                           getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                                                public void run() {
                                               System.out.println("Arena starting in 2");
                                               getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(TronTrails.this, new Runnable() {
                                                    public void run() {
                                                   System.out.println("Arena starting in 1" );
                                                    }
                                                    }, 3 * 20L);
                                                }
                                                }, 3 * 20L);
                                            }

                }
                }, 3 * 20L); // 20 ticks = 1 second. So 3*20 ticks = 3 seconds.

Try messing around with this. The method you came up with looks rather messy.

RandomClass.java

Code:java

public int timer;
 
public void start() {
        timer = Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Timer(), 20L, 20L);
    }
 
public void stop() {
        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(timer);
    }

Timer.java

Code:java

package com.fuze.CraftOfDuty.timers;
 
public class Timer implements Runnable {
    public static int time;
 
    public void run() {
        if(time == 0) RandomClass.stop();
        System.out.println("Arena starting in " + time);
        time--;
    }
}
