Java timers?

I'm currenty trying to add a timer that runs a function x seconds after a player joins. Here's some of my Playelistener:

Code:

if(Config.debug_enable)  Utils.Debug("Idle time is: "+seconds);

IdleTimer = new Timer(player.getName());

IdleTimer.schedule(CheckIdle(player), seconds);

And the function:

Code:

public TimerTask CheckIdle(Player  player)

{

if (AuthDB.isAuthorized(player.getEntityId()) == false)

{

Messages.SendMessage("AuthDB_message_idle_kick", player, null);

IdleTimer.cancel();

}

else { IdleTimer.cancel(); }

return null;

}

What am I doing wrong

 

You can simplify everything just by using the bukkit schedule

Code:

int Schedule = plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new CheckIdle(player) , (x* 20L));

The int Schedule is only used if you want to track your schedule

 

Jesus, been trying to do this for hours now, thanks ALOT!

 

No problem, glad I could help =)

 

Oooh scheduler!
I will need that for my preview functions later.
Thanks, here have a cake:

 

Also be aware that since the bukkit api itself isn't thread safe, using any of the bukkit api within one of the Async scheduler methods may not be safe, and certainly isn't safe in your own custom threads.

 

That's true, try always using the Sync, like the one on my example =)
