Counter On Move Cancel

Hello, i am wondering how to make it so if a counter is going and the player moves it cancels the counter and event. For example i have something going on action right click air, this action make a delay so so after 3 secs the player gets teleported, but i want to make it so if the player moves in the 3 secs cancel the counter and the teleport and send the player a message of cancellation.

Here is my action code:

Code:java

 
if ((event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) && 
      (player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().hasDisplayName()) && 
      (player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "" + ChatColor.BOLD +"Hearthstone"))) {
      try {
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Teleporting in" + ChatColor.RED + " 3 secs " + ChatColor.GOLD + "Don't move."); 
   this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable() {
   public void run() { 
   player.teleport(getHearthstone(player));
   player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You have been teleported to your Hearthstone's location.");
   }
   }, 60L);
      } catch (Exception e) {
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You might not have set your Hearthstone location.");
      }
    }
 

 

scheduleSyncDelayedTask returns an integer ID of the task. You can store that integer to a list or set, and then use it later when you call getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(taskid); And you'd probably want to call that in an event handler for PlayerMoveEvent

 

Rocoty I'm a little confused i get what your saying but can you just make code so i can understand it better thanks BTW

 

I can make some pseudo-code for you:

Code:

if condition to start teleport is true
    int taskId = scheduler.scheduleSyncDelayedTask(args);
    teleportTimers.put(player's name, taskId)
 
PlayerMoveEvent handler declaration
    scheduler.cancelTask(teleportTimers.get(player's name))
    teleportTimers.remove(player's name)

Might want to remove the entry when the run() method in the Runnable is called as well... teleportTimers is a Map by the way

 

FuZioN720 I would personally make a boolean and check for if the player's location has changed. If so, the the boolean is true, and if the boolean is true, cancel the event.

 

BajanAmerican How could i do this, This sounds simpler

 

FuZioN720 Weeeeeell, you'd still have to cancel the task somehow. If I get BajanAmerican correctly, it would do just the same as my suggestion, except it would just refrain from teleporting when the task gets run. You'd still have to create a Map for the player to put their boolean. Oh, and it would require the task to know which player it is and all that stuff...

But I might be getting their suggestion completely wrong...

 

Rocoty ok thanks.
