Solved How to make 'rounds' in minigames?

I'm currently making a minigame that will require rounds 1 to let's say max 50. How would I do that in the most efficient way? I feel like making delayed schedulers for every round is inefficient.

 

Well, what do you think the end of the game would be? Other than that, I think a scheduler would be the best way.

 

Just use a repeating scheduler, then check every second/tick if a specific item has been taken or action is done and then go to the next round.

Why are you so concerned with efficiency? Just do it in the way that makes the most sense and is the easiest to read.

 

So nesting several delayed schedules is the best way?

 

@cluter123
You're saying that that's the most easy to read?

 

@cluter123

That sounds pretty unreadable, if you ask me. Why don't you have one Runnable that represents a round, and schedule it multiple times, once for each round. That sounds more readable, doesn't it?

 

Yeah but the plugin does different tasks each round.

 

For example?

 

Round one; the plugin broadcasts "hi" and gives everyone in the arena regen II
Round two; the plugin broadcasts "bye" and gives every player resistance 5 and removes regen
(Obviously not what my plugin does, but just an example)

 

You could store information in a custom object, so you can set the effect type for a round, the message, items, etc. Then use this object and read the values, and do things according to that.

 

Yeah but my main point is that Bukkit doesn't wait until a runnable is finished before it moves onto the next runnable. If I we to for say do:
RunnableObject
Broadcast round #2
Runnable object

It wouldn't wait until the first runnable is done and then broadcast round number two, it would instatiate both runnable a and broadcast round #2 at the same time.

I want the plugin to do broadcast round #1 then do something, broadcast round 2 after what I just did finished and then do another thing, etc

 

Just make a int and increment it every time a round ends. Then when you increment the round, if you need to do something different in a certain round, just check the round number.

 

Nvm I fixed it.
