"Unknown command" - Plugin commands not working

HashMap<String, Long> startTimes = new HashMap<String, Long>;

Seems to cause the error: Syntax error on Token(s), Misplaced Construct(s).

Why is that? :/

 

missed () at the end. sorry.

Code:java

HashMap<String, Long> startTimes = new HashMap<String, Long>();

 

Hashmaps become quite confusing at 3AM. XD

So do I call on the Cooldown 'script' you sent in place of the "Sleep" thread I had?

EDIT: How exactly does the 'script' work?

This is what I had assumed:

Code:java

 
                            long start = startTimes.get(player.getName()),
                                                  // Is this the end "Time", as in (eg.) 9:40:23PM?
                                end = start + duration;
                                                 // Will this constantly check if the time is the end time?
                            if(end < System.currentTimeMillis()) { // means if current time is after the end
                                //What exactly goes here? 
                                startTimes.put(player.getName(), System.currentTimeMillis());
                            } else {
                                long timeToWait = end - System.currentTimeMillis(); // Is this variable just for display to the user?

 

First of all: No, you do not have to just replace the Thread.sleep(). I need to understand your code to give a qualified answer.

If I get that right, your plugin does the following when you enter /afki on:

1. Wait 30s
   • Interrupt if player moves
2. Activate AFKI

I slightly misunderstood it before/was mislead by other comments. So let's rethink the concept.

1. Wait 30s + 2. Activate AFKI

Code:

BukkitTask task = new BukkitRunnable() {
 
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // you code for activating AFKI goes here
        // sendMessage, enableFlying, walkspeed = 0, no dmg ticks = -1
    }
}.runTaskLater(this, 30*20); // in ticks; 20 ticks per second

Interrupt if player moves: In order to interrupt the timer you need to save the resulting BukkitTask in a HashMap. This goes into your class as a field:

Code:

private HashMap<String, BukkitTask> taskMap = new HashMap<String BukkitTask>();

Then save the task into that HashMap:

Code:

taskMap.add(player.getName(), task);

Then create a proper Listener that implements PlayerMoveEvent(keywords: Listener, PluginManager, registerEvents, @EventHandler; Tutorial). In that event check if the HashMap contains the player and if so, cancel the task and remove it.

Code:

if(taskMap.contains(player.getName()) {
    taskMap.get(player.getName()).cancel();
    taskMap.remove(player.getName());
}

You do not need boolean wait, Thread.sleep(), and you do not need setExecutor for your command. Explained that on page 1.

Disclaimer: All codes are untestested. I typed them strictly from my mind. I did this to teach you how to do it. This may include some thinking on your side.

 

It's 3PM now, I should be able to incorporate some thinking of my own.

Thanks, i'll give it a try. Honestly, your method is a lot more straight forward than mine. XD
