Problem with the getting the player

Here's my code:

Code:java

                      public void run() {
                          Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "VOTING IS OVER!");
                            if(IronVote2 > IronVote1){
                                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "The winning map is: Woodwork!");
                                IronVote1 = 0;
                                IronVote2 = 0;
 
                            }
                            if(IronVote1 > IronVote2){
                                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "The winning map is: Malfunction!");
                                IronVote1 = 0;
                                IronVote2 = 0;
                            }
                            if(IronVote1 == IronVote2){
                                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "The winning map is: Malfunction!");
                                IronVote1 = 0;
                                IronVote2 = 0;
                                player.sendMessage("Hi");
                            }
                      }
                    }, 600L);

It says I can't get the player unless I turn it to final and I don't want to do that.

 

KaiPol
Why not?

 

*maybe he will realize he just make a inner class and he can't uses non-final variables inside it :O*

 

KaiPol you have to use player variable outside the method, for that you have to initialize it, try that?

 

The_Doctor_123 his thread and your answer make me think, why it's needs to be final? What is the point? I know, I need to, and how to do it and sh*t... but, why it has to be final?

 

The_Doctor_123 I thought it would give me an error with the rest of the command
Thank you!

It's technical. Java would take a performance loss if it weren't final.

 

It's not about performance, it's about closures: http://csharpindepth.com/Articles/Chapter5/Closures.aspx

 

Oh yeah, our beloved blazing fast java would lost performance.

It was worth a shot.

 

Again, it's not about performance. At all. For one thing, java is comparable to speeds of other languages such as C#, it is merely more resource-intensive on computer distributions of the JVM, with JVM warmup times aside.

 

1Rogue I got computer C with X specifications. And I got an C++ program who does Y, I got a java program who does Y either. The C++ program will run faster, because is requires less resource, The java program will run slower because it's needs more resources. So java = slow.

 

...

Obviously you don't understand that it depends on what you're doing.

 

resources required/used != speed of the process
