Timer problem.

Hi!

I'm creating a plugin, but need to add a Timer.

Code:

Player player = event.getPlayer();
int delay = 10;

Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
    public void run() {
        player.sendMessage("10 secounds delay!");
    }
}, delay);

This do not work because TimerTask() is another class. How can i svole it? just need to run

Code:

player.sendMessage("10 secounds delay!");

In the timer

 

Don't use the Timer Class, use bukkits scheduler
Take a look at my tutorial

Code:

 int OneTime = plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable() {

            public void run() {

 player.sendMessage("10 secounds delay!");
            }
        }, 10 * 20L);

 

Nice, thanks

But still have the problem that "public void run()" can't get variable player, since the function is in class Runnable()

What do then?

Declare Player as a global variable

Do this outside the method

Code:

Player player;

Then on the method just do:

Code:

player = event.getPlayer();

 

Thanks, will try that. Don't know how i don't was thinking about this myself

Sorry, seems like this is wrong, i have to just delay. Also:

Code:

if (delayTask) {
    // Delay 10 secounds
}

// Code

If you just delay from your main thread you will freeze the whole server for 10 seconds.

 

My goal is to check if player have done a task, if he has done, i'll prevent him to do it of other 30 secounds.

 

Then you don't need to schedule anything. Just check next time the player tries to do whatever you want to prevent if 30 seconds have passed already or not using System.currentTimeMillis() for ex.

 

How? Do i need to save the time or some better functions?

 

You can store the time in a Map<Player, Long> so each player has its own time value and then calculate the difference between the current time and the time you stored in the map.

 

Then i have to have 2 maps. I already have a map Map<Player, Player> since it's about pvp events.

 

You could make another class to store both values

Code:

class X {
   Player pvp;
   long lastTimeOfTask;
}

and use this class for map values, but i would use 2 maps.

 

Yes, was thinking about it

And just have a List<X>.
