Is there a scheduleSyncRepeatingTask alternative

Hi there,
I am making a plugin and in the main class i am calling an runnable in the onEnable, well this was until i realised that scheduleSyncRepeatingTask is deprecated. I know i could use it but i would prefer not to use deprecated methods. So the question i am asking is is there an alternative to scheduleSyncRepeatingTask
Thanks in advance
CoderJim

Here is my current code with only the affected parts:

Code:

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        registerTimers();
    }
    private void registerTimers(){
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new ClassName(), 0L, 100L);
    }
}

 

@CoderJim Make a class extend Bukkit Runnable.

 

@bwfcwalshy I have already made a class that extends BukkitRunnable but that still doesn't change the fact that the ScheduleSyncRepeatingTask is deprecated

 

@timtower hmm i tried this

Code:

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(this, new Bc(), 0L, 100L);

But that method is deprecated as well,

 

new BukkitRunnable() {
public void run(){
//Code
}
}.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 20);

 

Or use Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, runnable, 10L);
(Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLaterAsynchronously(...)

 

He wants a repeatingTask, not a delayedTask

 

@MexMaster Thanks for the suggestion but that would not work for me because it is for a broadcaster which needs a repeating task

 

I used delayed tasks like this:

private void execute(){
//Do whatever here
Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, new Runnable(){
execute();
}, interval);
}

Because then you can change the interval on every run. Let's say we have a broadcaster. And you have 3 messages that are broadcasted at different time intervals. So you can calculate the time to the next broadcast and just schedule this time. But if you just need a simple repeating task this would be too complicated.
(The code looks somehow messy because I'm only on my phone, sorry)

 

@FisheyLP How would i register this in main class because i want it to be registered in the main class and the code be in a seperate class eg..

In the main class:

Code:

    public void onEnable() {
        registerTimers();
    }
    private void registerTimers(){
        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().runTaskTimer(this, new Bc(), 0L, 100L);
    }
}

And in a seperate class:

Code:

public class Bc extends BukkitRunnable {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Method here!!
    }
}

Because i have tried this and the tasktimer is deprecated

 

The scheduler deprecates any calls when you pass a BukkitRunnable. Pass a normal runnable or use BukkitRunnable's methods. You should always use .runTask* methods, not .schedule* methods

 

Have you tried using scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask?

 

I have no problems using Async, but that's my personal opinion.

 

@BTTFHamsterZK Would stick with sync task
They explain here why

 

I guess, That explains that, because I'm using the Async in the core class. ;-;

 

Just because you don't see errors in console, doesn't mean there aren't problems.

 

@1Rogue Thanks got rid of the deprecation now, just one more question
What method do you think is better/ use more often

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new ClassName(), 0L, 100L);

Or

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().runTaskTimer(this, new ClassName(), 0L, 100L);

 

Doesn't matter, #scheduleSyncRepeatingTask is deprecated and just directly calls #runTaskTimer:

Code:java

    public int scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(final Plugin plugin, final Runnable runnable, long delay, long period) {
        return runTaskTimer(plugin, runnable, delay, period).getTaskId();
    }
