Trying to add a Tasktimer to launch fireworks every 5 sec on PlayerMoveEvent

Title says it all


I want to add a tasktimer but i don't really know how cause you can see in the pic everytime i move it spawns fireworks constantly and it gets really anoyying so i want to add a 5 sec delay before each firework launch, How would i be available to do that? Here is the code for the firework:

The firework launch happens in the performEffect area and thats where i want the tasktimer to go

Code:java

TCNParticles plugin = TCNParticles.Instance();
 
public String getName()
{
return "Firework";
}
 
public void preformEffect(final Player player) {
 
Location loc = player.getLocation().add(0, 1, 0);
RandomFireworks.getManager().launchRandomFirework(loc);
}
 
@Override
public boolean canUse(Player player)
{
if (player.hasPermission("particlepack.firework"))
return true;
return false;
}
 
 
@Override
public void setValue(String str) {}
}

That picture makes a really good wallpaper, IMO.

Have you tried doing a delayedTask for 5 seconds that launches the firework effect?

Haha yea you're right about the picture

Umm this is what i had before but i just spawned on a small delay after i moved and just keep spawning fireworks non-stop

Code:java

  public void preformEffect(final Player player) {
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new BukkitRunnable(){
            Location loc = player.getLocation().add(0, 1, 0);
            @Override
            public void run() {
                RandomFireworks.getManager().launchRandomFirework(loc);
                }
        },5L);
  }

That's right, except the delay. It should be 5 seconds not 5 ticks. 20 ticks = 1 second. So 5 * 20L = 5 seconds.

Nope that just delays the firework to spawn


This is sorta what i mean: 5 sec -----> a fireworks spawns -----> 5 sec ------> another firework spawns and sooo on

Code:java

 
private boolean spawnFirework = true;
 
public void spawnFireworkTask() {
    Bukkit.getScheduker().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new BukkitRunnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            if (spawnFirework)
                spawnFirework = false;
            else
                spawnFirework = true;
    }, 20L * 5);
}
 
 
public void performEffect(final Player player) {
     if (!spawnFirework) return;
 
     Location loc = player.getLocation().add(0, 1, 0);
     RandomFireworks.getManager().launchRandomFirework(loc);
 
}

You just have to call the method "spawnFireworkTask" anywhere, e.g. in onEnable().
It will switch the cancellation every 5 seconds. So it will only spawn one firework every 5 sec.

What do you mean about onEnable()?

Panjab It still won't work

I still need help with this. Anyone?

Give this a try:

Code:java

.runTaskLater(this.plugin, 60);

on your public final class.

 

Already got it working Thanks for the help anyways
