Solved Changing variable in scheduleSyncRepeatingTask

How would I change a variable in scheduleSyncRepeatingTask?
my current code:

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable(){
                    public void run(){
                        int players = plugin.getConfig().getInt(w.getName()+".players.players_online");
                        int possible = plugin.getConfig().getInt(w.getName()+".players.number_of_players");
                        lines[2] = players+"/"+n*possible;
                        if(players >= possible/2){
                            lines[3] = ChatColor.GREEN+"Ready to start!";
                        }else if(players < possible/2){
                            lines[3] = ChatColor.GOLD+"Getting ready";
                        }else{
                            lines[3] = ChatColor.RED+"Server is offline!";
                        }
                        s.update();
                    }
                },0, 20);

I'd need to change "players" variable

If you mean change it from outside of the task, then the only way would be to change the int in the config.

 

Well... I meant changing in the task, that is in the runtime of the task. The value in the config is changing from 0-16, but it's always showing 1 as it was when this task was run.

If I understand this repeatable task syntax, I run this one every second? And then it should be changing the variable players to the value in the config... Am I right? Why isn't it changing it's variable while running?

It's kinda like InfiniteLoop but it's running every second... Am I right? @Zombie_Striker

 

@MGlolenstine
You would need to reload the config if you made any changes to it. Try adding plugin.reloadConfig() before getting the int.

 

Thank you! Exactly what I wanted!
