interrupting a task?

How would I interrupt a task and then resume it?

 

What kind of task?

 

A scheduled repeating task.

You can cancel a scheduled task by using this command (where taskID is an int value, representing the ID of the task, which is returned from scheduleAsyncDelayedTask() and the other similar commands):

Code:

getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(taskID);

EDIT: But I dont think there is a way to actually pause it, and resume it later. I think you'd need to cancel it and create a new (similar) one later again

 

In your Runnable class, just add a boolean variable. In your run() method, check if the boolean is true before doing anything. Then you can just change the value of that boolean from wherever it's needed. It won't technically pause it, but it will prevent it from doing anything until you turn it back on.

 

Your best bit would probably be to use it's ID to cancel it or use a boolean variable to decide whether r not to run the code inside run() at certain times.

 

Wow I wonder why I diden't think of the boolean idea...
Thank guys!
