Schelduler in Schelduler

Code:java

public void GameRounds(){
this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
 
public void run(){
 
}
 
}, 1200L, 2400L);
 
 
 
 
}

How can i put a delayed schelduler in this repeating schelduler, i know it sounds weird, but i will add serveral delayed tasks into the repeating task.

I can't do this:
in the public void run():
this.getServer()....

This gives me an error at .getServer()

 

Spelled syntax wrong. Lol.

 

Not anymore

 

I think it should work if you remove "this." before getServer in the scheduler.

 

Why do you want to put a delayed task in a repeating task?

 

For rounds in a minigame, every round there will be spawning new zombies

Nope doesn't work, but i can solve it without using schelduler in schelduler, but i am interested in this solution

I'm assuming he's using the repeating task as the timer and the delayed tasks for the counters and whatnot.

Anyways, you get an error because the second 'this' refers to the repeating task. In order to use your plugin globally, you can create a Plugin variable like so:

Code:

package com.example.test;
 
import org.bukkit.Server;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.scheduler.BukkitScheduler;
 
public class TestPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    TestPlugin plugin;
    Server server;
    BukkitScheduler sched;
 
    public void onEnable() {
        plugin = this;
        server = plugin.getServer();
        sched = server.getScheduler();
    }
 
    public void GameRounds() {
        sched.scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                sched.scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        //blah
                    }
                }, 100L);
            }
        }, 1200L, 2400L);
    }
}

As I have done, I also would recommend that you create variables for the Server and BukkitScheduler, as it cuts down on resources since you're not constantly asking Bukkit what the server is and what the scheduler is.

Good luck!

 

Why not increment a number ever time?
int i = 0
5 minute scheduler -> increase i by 1, if i = ? do whatever, if i = maxi do i = 0

I just fail to see any need for a delayed task in a repeating task...
