Solved [UNSOLVED] checking if a timer is stopped

Hey I created this timer, and when it reaches the last message it stops and works perfectly. Here is my code..

Code:java

timer = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
                    public void run(){
 
                        switch(messages){
                            case 0:
                                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("");
                                messages++;
                                break;
                            case 1:
                                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("");
                                messages++;
                                break;
                            case 2:
                                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("");
                                messages++;
                                break;
                            case 3:
                                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("");
                                getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(timer);
 
                                break;
 
                        }
 
                    }
                }, 0, 24000);

Next I want to put something like if the "timer" is done, do this. I don't want to put everything else in my code in"case 3: ". I found this

Code:java

 public boolean isCurrentlyRunning(int taskId);

But when I put put "timer" as the "taskId" it gives an error when I use this in a new method. Any help? Sorry, I'm new to java and plugin development.

 

jthort Why not just check if the timer is equal to 4 because it only goes up to case 3? And what are you trying to make? There might be an easier way.

 

I'm using the integer "messager" in the cases, not "timer". Timer is set to the timer

I'm trying to run this timer, and when it's done start the rest of the code

I'm just going to create a new class and call the class in at case 3. Solved
