[URGENT For My Plugin!] Schedulers/Intervals?

Hey guys,
Beast here. I need to get an update out there for my Broadcaster, "EasyBroadcast". What I am wanting to know is "what" the coding script is to add an interval to messages. I have looked EVERYWHERE! I looked on Youtube. I look EVEN on TheBCBroz. (That one is outdated.) This is urgent, as it will help accelerate my plugin greatly. I can give you a piece of my code if you need it to "insert" some stuff in.

Thanks!

Use the Bukkit Schedulers, and set the config time to broadcast in that time.. I don't find it hard, but I just can't do schedulers.. Something like,

Code:

//Scheduler line, try using a taskTimer
public void run() {
// do the broadcast here
}, this.getConfig().getInt("interval"), 0)
}

It should look like that, I'm not sure, really.

 

Since you sound like a relevant guy, what would it look like if you inserted that code into this?

Code:

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String args[]) {
        if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("broadcast")) {
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
              sb.append(args[i]).append(" ");
            }
            if(sender.hasPermission(new Permissions().Broadcast)){
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "[" + (getConfig().getString("BroadcastPrefix")) + "] " + ChatColor.GREEN + sb.toString());
            } else{
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "You don't have permission!");
            }
        }
        }

P.S. I tried it, and failed, as I don't have TO much Java EXP. xD

Uhhm, honestly, I have no clue I haven't really used Schedulers, so I'm not sure..

Okay. Thank you for trying. Can anyone else sort this out please? This is urgent!

Can someone please help me on this? This is still UnSolved, and it is urgent!

It should be something like this:

Code:

new BukkitRunnable() {
 
    @Override
    public void run() {
        //Do stuff
    }
 
}.runTaskLater(plugin, delay);

 

How would you insert it in this line of code? Sorry, I'm not pro at Java yet.

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String args[]) {
        if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("broadcast")) {
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
              sb.append(args[i]).append(" ");
            }
            if(sender.hasPermission(new Permissions().Broadcast)){
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "[" + (getConfig().getString("BroadcastPrefix")) + "] " + ChatColor.GREEN + sb.toString());
            } else{
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "You don't have permission!");
            }
        }
        }

 

Does anyone know? It has been over 24HRS so *BUMP*

I need to update this soon or I will get yelled at. Can I please have helped on the Schedule Repeating Task with that line of code above my post just recently?

It should be something like this:

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String args[]) {
    if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("broadcast")) {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
            sb.append(args[i]).append(" ");
        }
        if(sender.hasPermission(new Permissions().Broadcast)){
            new BukkitRunnable() {
               
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "[" + (getConfig().getString("BroadcastPrefix")) + "] " + ChatColor.GREEN + sb.toString());
                }
               
            }.runTaskLater(plugin, delay);
        } else{
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "You don't have permission!");
        }
    }
}

 

By the way... Thank you for the response. Greatly appreciated.

Number One: what do I put in "plugin"?

Code:

}.runTaskLater(plugin, delay);

Number Two: How do I insert a messages.txt into public void run() so that I can run a line of messages on the interval?

Thanks my man!
