How to remove the block a player steps on after 3 seconds

Hi, so I'm trying to make a plugin so if a player steps in clay after 3 seconds the clay will disappear. After it disappears in 5 minutes the block will regenerate. How can I do something like this? Also if possible can you please leave some pseudo code on how to do such a task?

 

on walk {
make task 3secs later {
remove block;
make task 180 secs later {
add block;
}
}
}

 

Sorry, I know that you have to do that but I'm wondering HOW I can do those things? Like example code would be cool pls

Oh! Ok, Some schedulers would be helpful on the page above

 

I know how to use schedulers lel, anyways. Here is my code, not sure why it's not working.

Code:

    public List<BlockState> blocklist = new ArrayList<BlockState>();

Code:

public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent event)
    {
        final Block block = event.getTo().getBlock().getLocation().add(new Vector(0,-1,0)).getBlock();
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        if(Main.inRunnerGame.contains(player))
        {
            if(block.getType().equals(Material.CLAY))
            {
               pl.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(pl, new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    blocklist.add(block.getState());
                    block.setType(Material.AIR);
                }
             
                 
                 
               },60L);
            }
        }
      
    }

 

I'm not positive but I believe when you say event.getTo().getBlock() is the block they moved to, when I'm guessing you want to get the block they were at. In this case use player.getLocation().getBlock()

 

Okay I'll test this out. Thanks.

@AcePilot10 Sadly it still doesn't work. Even thought I changed it to player.getLocation

Try deleting if(block.getType().equals(Material.CLAY)). I might be wrong, I just woke up.
It could have something to do with that. Just test.

 

I'm gonna test this out.
Wait a sec.
Did you forget the @EventHandler annotation.

 

Use debugger code, Send messages before if's, and as always, register your events and use @EventHandler

 

@ChipDev Alright I think I know that I'm supposed to use @EventHandler lel.

No I didn't it's there.

Will do.

@ChipDev @AcePilot10 @xXCapzXx
So I did what he said and I figured out that the whole method isn't working. Is there a reason why?

My constructor.

Code:

public PlayerMove(Main main)
    {
        pl = main;
    }
    

My registerEvents method.

Code:

public void registerEvents()
    {
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerQuit(this), this);
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerDeath(this), this);
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerJoin(this), this);
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerBreak(this), this);
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerKill(this), this);

Please tell me if I've done something wrong. Thanks!

Also along with my PlayerBreak method isn't working, here's the code:

Code:

    LinkedHashMap<Location, Block> changedBlocks = new LinkedHashMap<Location, Block>();
    Main pl;
    public PlayerBreak(Main main)
    {
        this.pl = main;
        pl.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, pl);
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerBreak(BlockBreakEvent e)
    {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();
        List<BlockState> blocklist = new ArrayList<BlockState>();
        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(pl, new Runnable(){
            Block block = e.getBlock();
            Material material = block.getType();
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                if(Main.inSpleefGame.contains(player))
                {
                    if(player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.DIAMOND_SPADE)
                    {
                        if(material.equals(Material.SNOW))
                        {
                            blocklist.add(e.getBlock().getState());
                           
                            for(BlockState block : blocklist)
                            {
                                block.update();
                            }
                            blocklist.clear();
                        }
                    }
                    }
            }
           
        }, 20L); //TESTING PURPOSES, CHANGE BACK TO 5 MINUTES AFTER
    }
}

I guess it's the class. Try putting in the main class.

 

Ok, the reason it isn't working is you have to pass through the main class (the class the extends JavaPlugin). You are passing in the listener class as the main class. So what you want to do is since you already get an instance of the main class just do Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, MainClassInstance);. OR you could just register in you onEnable method (Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ListenerClass); And make sure you register when the server enables (onEnable())

 

I have registered the events
@AcePilot10

And I will try to do so @ChipDev

@ChipDev I did what you said and I put my listener classes inside my main class, I registered the events and they didn't work. I feel as if just the code doesn't work. But I don't know what parts of the code doesn't work?

Does any of your code work?
Does the plugin enable?
Add me on Skype, or Bring to a PM So we can talk faster.

 

@ChipDev Whats your skypee?
