Solved Cancelling a repeating task... What am i doing wrong!?

It has been driving me CRAZY! what am i doing wrong!? I tried everything! but no matter what i do, it always gives me a java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not scheduled yet.

This is how i call the repeating task

Code:java

GameTask task = new GameTask();
 
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(Infection.instance, new GameTask(), 20, 20);

And this is the latest version of attempts at getting it to work

Code:java

public static class GameTask extends BukkitRunnable {
        static long timer = 60 * 8;
 
        public void run() {
            for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers())
                player.setLevel((int) timer);
 
            timer--;
            if (timer == 450)
                randomZombify();
 
            if (timer < 470)
            {
                try
                {
                    if (Bukkit.getScheduler().isCurrentlyRunning(this.getTaskId()) || Bukkit.getScheduler().isQueued(this.getTaskId()))
                        Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(this.getTaskId());
                } catch (Exception e)
                {
                    this.cancel();
                }
            }
        }

Please tell me what am i doing wrong, its driving me insane ):

I didn't code with Bukkit api in a while, but i can't remember a 'getTaskId()' method in BukkitRunnable.

This is how i did:

Code:

private static class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
  public int id;
 
  @Override
  public void run() {
    Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(this.id);
  }
}
 
MyRunnable sch = new MyRunnable();
sch.id = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, sch, 10, 10);

 

newboyhun The error is gone, but the scheduler doesnt cancel ):

What is your goal with the sheduler and why does it need to cancel?

 

amitlin14
You have to start the schedule with the method of the object: task.runTaskTimer(Infection.instance, 20L, 20L);

 

Tarestudio It... It worked... oh my god. What is this sorcery?!
