[Bukkit Scheduler] Extend task delay if something happens

Hello! I've got some code:

Code:java

public static void addUndeadKill(final UUID player)
{
    Player p = Bukkit.getPlayer(player);
    Scoreboard scoreboard = p.getScoreboard();
 
    if(scoreboard.getObjective(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR) != null)
    {
        Objective obj = scoreboard.getObjective(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);
        obj.setDisplayName(ChatColor.YELLOW + "+1 Kill!");
        obj.getScore(PacketUtil.SIDEBAR_KILLTYPE).setScore(0);
 
        Team t = scoreboard.getTeam(PacketUtil.SIDEBAR_KILLTYPE);
        t.setSuffix(PacketUtil.KILLTYPE_NORMALZOMBIE);
 
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLaterAsynchronously(DeadworksAPI.instance, new BukkitRunnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                Player p = Bukkit.getPlayer(player);
                Scoreboard scoreboard = p.getScoreboard();
 
                if(scoreboard.getObjective(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR) != null)
                {
                    scoreboard.clearSlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);
                }
            }
        }, (20 * 3));
    }
}

But I need to know, let's say for instance another thing is updated on the scoreboard. I need to know how to delay that task by even more. Any ideas?

Create an int and then replace the (20 * 3) with the int name.

int example = 100;

}, (int));

and then you can use the int to extend task delay by adding to int.

 

Jaaakee224 But with that, it would just create the same timer, and if it gets called again it'll just create another timer with an extended delay.

• You shouldn't be using non thread-safe methods in an async task (and I'm pretty sure Scoreboards are not thread-safe)
• You shouldn't use BukkitRunnables in the scheduler. Either use a Runnable, or use a BukkitRunnable standalone (as in, without directly using the scheduler)
  Code:java

  new BukkitRunnable()
  {
      @Override
      public void run()
      {
          // TODO: code
      }
  }.runTask<whatever>(plugin, ...);

 

fireblast709 It was originally a Runnable, I just changed it to BukkitRunnable for testing purposes.
