Cooldown inside a repeating task

I want to make it when a player goes from "under a block" to "not under a block" the plugin waits like 10 seconds and then set the player unlimited on fire. then when the player goes "under a block" the fire on the player gets extinguished after 10 seconds, this is what I have, but I don't know how I can make it so the plugin waits 10 seconds before the player gets set on fire.

Code:

@Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Iterator it = blockAbovePlayerStatus.entrySet().iterator();
                while(it.hasNext()) {
                    Map.Entry pair = (Map.Entry)it.next();
                    Player player = (Player) pair.getKey();
                    player.sendMessage(player.getFireTicks() + "");
                    if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("In open")) {
                        player.setFireTicks(40);
                    } else if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Moved from block")) {
                        blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "In open");
                       
                        player.setFireTicks(40);

                    }
                }
            }
        }, 0, 1);
    }

@EventHandler
    public void onMove(PlayerMoveEvent e) {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();
        Location location = player.getLocation();
        int highestBlockY = player.getWorld().getHighestBlockYAt(location);
        if ((int)(player.getLocation().getY() + 2) < highestBlockY && blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("In open"))
            blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "Moved under block");
        else if ((int)(player.getLocation().getY() + 2) < highestBlockY)
            blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "Under block");
        else if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Under block"))
            blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "Moved from block");
    }

 

You can just create a delayed task within the repeating task.

 

Okay, but what happens if a player quickly goes "under a block" again, will the delayed task then stop or what happens?

 

It won't, but you can stop it by using

Code:java

Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(int taskID);

To get the taskID, you need to map the player to the scheduler's ID inside a HashMap.

 

Okay, thia is getting harder than I thought it would

 

You could also just check inside the 10-second-scheduler whether there is still no block above the player and only then light him up. You will get some more schedulers that could lag your server, but it is definitely easier to code

 

@Max8801 @xX4w3s0m3Xx
The issue is that you're using schedulers. If you use BukkitRunnables instead, you would be able to just use cancel();.

 

I'll think about it, I'll probably use your fisrt solution, but for now I'll wait if there are more solutions

Could you explain the difference between schedulers and BukkitRunnables?

 

@xX4w3s0m3Xx
They do the same thing, but you should try to use BukkitRunnables whenever you can as they are the recommened way of setting up tasks and as it has more methods in it.

to set up a bukkit runnable, use this

Code:

new BukkitRunnable(){
   public void run(){
   ...
   }
}.runTaskLater(...);

 

Alright, I'll check that out, thank you both for the help!

UPDATE:
I Tried this

Code:

@Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Iterator it = blockAbovePlayerStatus.entrySet().iterator();
                while(it.hasNext()) {
                    Map.Entry pair = (Map.Entry)it.next();
                    Player player = (Player) pair.getKey();
                    player.sendMessage(player.getFireTicks() + "");
                    player.sendMessage(blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player));
                    new BukkitRunnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Moved from block")) {
                                if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Under block"))
                                    cancel();
                                new BukkitRunnable() {
                                    public void run() {
                                        if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Moved from block")) {
                                            blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "In open");
                                            cancel();
                                        } else
                                            cancel();
                                    }
                                }.runTaskLater(plugin, 100);
                            }
                        }
                    }.runTask(plugin);
                    if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("In open")) {
                        if (player.getFireTicks() < 0) {
                            player.setFireTicks(40);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }, 0, 1);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {

    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onMove(PlayerMoveEvent e) {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();
        Location location = player.getLocation();
        int highestBlockY = player.getWorld().getHighestBlockYAt(location);
        if (!blockAbovePlayerStatus.containsKey(player))
            if ((int)(player.getLocation().getY() + 2) < highestBlockY)
                blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "Under block");
            else
                blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "In open");
        if ((int)(player.getLocation().getY() + 2) < highestBlockY && blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("In open"))
            blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "Moved under block");
        else if ((int)(player.getLocation().getY() + 2) < highestBlockY)
            blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "Under block");
        else if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Under block"))
            blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "Moved from block");
    }

But the problem is that when a player goes from "Under block" to "Moved from block" and then after 2 seconds from "moved from block" to "Under block" and then after 2 seconds from "Under block" to "Moved from block" then it only takes 1 seconds to get set on fire instead of 5, so this:

Code:

new BukkitRunnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Moved from block")) {
                                if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Under block"))
                                    cancel();
                                new BukkitRunnable() {
                                    public void run() {
                                        if (blockAbovePlayerStatus.get(player).equals("Moved from block")) {
                                            blockAbovePlayerStatus.put(player, "In open");
                                            cancel();
                                        } else
                                            cancel();
                                    }
                                }.runTaskLater(plugin, 100);
                            }
                        }
                    }.runTask(plugin);

and specifically the second BukkitRunnable isn't getting canceled, but I don't know how I would go on that, can anyone of you help?
