Solved Config? Countdown?

Hey, this may be a simple solution but..
Here is my current code which WORKS:

Code:

package me.promckingz.pigquest;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.scheduler.BukkitRunnable;

import com.promckingz.pigquest.ChatUtils;

public class LobbyCount extends BukkitRunnable{
   
    LobbyCount() { }
      
    static LobbyCount instance = new LobbyCount();
  
    public static LobbyCount getInstance() {
            return instance;
    }
   
    private static int tts;
   
    public void run(){
        tts = 60;
        while(true){
            if(GameState.isState(GameState.IN_LOBBY))
                if(Game.canStart()){
                    ChatUtils.broadcast(ChatColor.GREEN + "Minimum players reached! Countdown is starting..");
            for(;tts >= 0; tts--){
                if(!Game.canStart()){
                    ChatUtils.broadcast("Waiting for more players..");
                }
                if(tts == 0){
                    // TODO START GAME
                    break;
                }
               
                if (tts % 10 ==0 || tts<10){
                    ChatUtils.broadcast(tts + " seconds until the game starts!");
            }
               
                try{
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
                }catch(InterruptedException e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.RED + "PigQuest Will not function properly! Check console");
                }
            }
        }
    }
    }
}

And I added a config section like so: Now the code does not function and gives me an error:

Code:

package me.promckingz.pigquest;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.scheduler.BukkitRunnable;

import com.promckingz.pigquest.ChatUtils;

public class LobbyCount extends BukkitRunnable{
   
    LobbyCount() { }
      
    static LobbyCount instance = new LobbyCount();
   
    Main settings = Main.getInstance();
  
    public static LobbyCount getInstance() {
            return instance;
    }
   
    private static int tts;
   
    public void run(){
        tts = settings.getConfig().getInt("countdown");
        while(true){
            if(GameState.isState(GameState.IN_LOBBY))
                if(Game.canStart()){
                    ChatUtils.broadcast(ChatColor.GREEN + "Minimum players reached! Countdown is starting..");
            for(;tts >= 0; tts--){
                if(!Game.canStart()){
                    ChatUtils.broadcast("Waiting for more players..");
                }
                if(tts == 0){
                    // TODO START GAME
                    break;
                }
               
                if (tts % 10 ==0 || tts<10){
                    ChatUtils.broadcast(tts + " seconds until the game starts!");
            }
               
                try{
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
                }catch(InterruptedException e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.RED + "PigQuest Will not function properly! Check console");
                }
            }
        }
    }
    }
}

This is the error:

Code:

@ProMCKingz

Why are you using statics?

 

@ProMCKingz please also post your main class that has the Runnable being called.

It is in the "join" arguments of the command.

Code:

    }
                if (arena >= getConfig().getInt("Min-Players")) {
                    Game.setCanStart(Main.arena >= getConfig().getInt("Max-Players"));

@ProMCKingz Could you post it into pastebin this is very hard to read(Or make sure all your code is surrounded by the [code ]

 

@tcvs

Paste Bin Link

Code may have issues, since it is in beta, and not debugged

@Skionz
Why won't it work though?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Your code is very hard to read. I suggest following good naming conventions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention_(programming)

 

You cannot set variables from outside a Runnable...
They need to be final, use a getter and setter.

Also there are some odd things going on with your code...
Why are you using Thread.sleep? Just wait until the next loop... because you're using a repeating task right?
This will be looping forever?
while(true){
Are you trying to make a repeating task inside a repeating task?
I'm confused now.

Just make a repeating task that loops every 2o ticks and gets and sets the time with a getter and setter.

 

@XXLuigiMario
I am trying to make it so that, when there is the minimum players, the timer will start from time set in config section "countdown".
And it gives me that error. Without the config section, it works fine.

 

Could you post your config?

 

@XXLuigiMario

PHP:

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
#][][][][][  Pig Quest ][][][][][      ONLY SUPPORTS ONE GAME CREATION FOR THE TIME
#~#~#~#~#~#~  Config   ~#~#~#~#~#
#            ~#~#~#~#~

# Number of players in order to start game
Players-To-Start: 3

# Max players in game
Max-Players: 2

# Min players in game, else it is ended
Min-Players: 2

# Countdown time
Countdown: 60

 

Make countdown lowercase in the config, or match it in the code.

 

@Jayke_

That won't make a difference.

Why are you abusing statics?

@Dragonphase YML file path-fetching is case-sensitive....

 

@Jayke_

Thus it does not matter what case his keys are. By replacing "Countdown" with "countdown" in his configuration, he would need to do the same within his code, which is pointless.

 

@Dragonphase
So whats the problem?

 

Don't use loops inside repeating tasks. I would recommend having a method that's called once the arena is occupied and have a while loop in there.
You could do something like this:

Code:

int a = 500;

while (game.canStart()){
a = a - 1;
if (a/50 instanceof Integer){
Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(a + " seconds left!")
}
}

The NPE could be because the config isn't being accessed correctly or countdown doesn't have a value set for it.

 

@ReadySetPawn
What is a?
It is meant to be time, and I would like it in a config

 

You could do: int a = config.getInt("countdown") * 50;

 

@ProMCKingz Do you watch TheBCBroz tutorials by any chance?

 

@ProMCKingz

There is no problem. My point is, it does not matter what case his keys are.

 

@Dragonphase @timbragg12 @ReadySetPawn @Jayke_ @XXLuigiMario @tcvs
Thanks for the help.
The problem has been solved
HOW: TheBCBroz video 6



@mythbusterma
Also, do you know how it is possible to turn a hashmap to a list of players?

@ProMCKingz

You could make a friend that you like to hang out with and learn from, that'd be fun. Also, 10k people are dumb as bricks/ignorant as one, you shouldn't just follow them off the metaphorical cliff. Learning to write plugins isn't about having "FUN," and I don't even think his videos are very entertaining at all, except laughing at all the errors he makes, that doesn't ever get old.

Why would you store them in a HashMap when you needed a List?

 

@mythbusterma
Because that's why BCBroz said... lol

 

@ProMCKingz

Well then use a List instead......

 

@timtower
To get all the players in the hashmap.

 

You shouldn't blindly do whatever he says. The only time you should watch his videos is when you are good enough at Java that you can recognize all of his mistakes and not follow them.
As @mythbusterma, I couldn't have said it better myself.

 

@ProMCKingz

But why do you need them in a List? You can iterate over a HashMap using Map#entrySet() Map#getKeys() and Map#getValues().

You haven't made clear what you're doing, and this belongs in another thread anyway.
