Need help with Schedule

hi,

I want to make a plugin that pays players every 20 minutes.
but I can not get the schedule right

Please help

my code is based on the vault example it's in the spoiler

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:java

 
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
if(!(sender instanceof Player)) {
log.info("Only players are supported for this Example Plugin, but you should not do this!!!");
return true;
}
 
Player player = (Player) sender;
 
if(command.getName().equals("PayTime")) {
EconomyResponse r = econ.depositPlayer(player.getName(), 20.00);
if(r.transactionSuccess()) {
sender.sendMessage(String.format("You were given %s and now have %s", econ.format(r.amount), econ.format(r.balance)));
} else {
sender.sendMessage(String.format("An error occured: %s", r.errorMessage));
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
}

 

First, please don't give us the entire source of your plugin. Try to include only relevant code. To answer your question, do a Google search for "bukkit scheduler" and you may find the solution to your problem. I'd recommend initiating it in the onEnable(), as that would be easiest and most efficient.

 

ok, i edited the my source code, and I already googled, but I don't understand it

What I would do is get the current milli seconds or whatever when the server or your plugin is enabled. Every once in a while in a sync scheduler do a check like if the current mill seconds compared to the onEnable milli seconds difference out to 20 minutes do whatever.
An example:
