Solved runTaskLater Not working

I'm making a cool down here's what I got:

How do I use this!? Even the runTaskLater will not work!

 

Code:

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(this, new Runnable() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
    // code
  }
}, time);

You sure this doesn't work? use Bukkit.getScheduler(), not Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler()

 

which getScheduler you use doesn't matter.

theisevan
Your capture shows us that eclipse found an error. Did you read the error message?

 

@Sagacious_Zed
Still didn't work for ne, I got The method runTaskLater(Plugin, Runnable, long) in the type BukkitScheduler is not applicable for the arguments (EventReq, new Runnable(){}, int, int)

 

http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/doxygen/df/dfa/interfaceorg_1_1bukkit_1_1scheduler_1_1BukkitScheduler.html
runTaskLater (Plugin plugin, Runnable task, long delay)

 

Still didn't work after going and looking there and I looked a page similar to that, which still didn't work for me.

 

Post your code after modifying

 

Code:java

            if(!coolDown.contains(p)) {
                if(p.hasPermission("DPP.eventrec")){
                    coolDown.add(p);
                    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + sender.getName() + " wants you to do an event!");
                    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(this, new Runnable() {
 
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            coolDown.remove(p);
 
                        }
 
                    }, 36000);

am I doing it wrong?

 

Any specific error at this point?

 

same that is has been
The method runTaskLater(Plugin, Runnable, long) in the type BukkitScheduler is not applicable for the arguments (EventReq, new Runnable(){}, int)

 

Change 36000 to 36000L, also is the class you're running this from your default class (that extends JavaPlugin)? The first argument is the instance of your main class

 

Adding the L did no difference and I don't know what you mean, this is a CommandExecutor class.

 

There's your problem then, if you're using "this" as the first argument and the class is a CommandExecuter and not a Plugin, it's not going to work. You have to use an instance of your plugin as the first argument.

 

So ,instanceof Main? Sorry i'm not understanding this.

 

Code:

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
  private static Plugin plugin; // <-- Where you store an instance of your main class
  @Override
  public void onEnable() {
    plugin = this;
  }
 
  public static Plugin getPlugin() {
    return plugin;
  }
}

Code:

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(Main.getPlugin(), new Runnable() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
 
  }
}, 20L);

Of course you'd have to change this to adapt to your plugin.

 

THANKS SO MUCH! NOW IT'S WORKING!

 

theisevan Mark the thread as solved then

 

foodyling sorry lol always forget

foodyling actually, could you help me with a problem i'm having with config.getString("string")
I'll paste the code.

Code:java

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("events")) {
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + config.getString("events"));
        }

It doesn't say any errors but if I do /events it returns this in the console.

Code:

theisevan Which line is the error occurring on? My current guess is that config is set to null.

 

It doesn't say there is an error. Nothing is wrong and everything says it all works! It's just doing that in the console?

 

Line 16 is throwing an error because of a NullPointerException, what is line 16?

 

foodyling sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + config.getString("events"));

 

config is set to null, you need to have it set to something if you want to use it.

 

It has a message inside it if that's what you're saying?

 

Do you even know what 'null' means?

 

not really lol

 

Post your main class and your command executer class
