Countdown

Can someone help me,
In my plugin I am trying to add a countdown feature. So basically you do a command like /countdown, then in chat it broadcasts, 5,4,3,2,1. In seconds.

Thanks for your help!

 

Have a look at this: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Scheduler_Programming

 

Could you explain it a bit for me, I'm having trouble understanding.

 

You can create a class like CountdownTask, and you make it extend BukkitRunnable.
Than you have to create a run method in which you can do Bukkit.broadcast() i think. After that when the command /countdown is done you do Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, countdowntask, 0L, 20);

 

Could you show me some code, sorry I'm a slow learner.

 

Code:java

public void CountDown(){
mytaskid2 = ConfigurableMessages.getPlugin().getServer().getScheduler().runTaskTimer(ConfigurableMessages.getPlugin(), new Runnable() {
int number = 5;
public void run() {
if(number != -1) {
if(number !=0) {
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "" + number);
number--;
for(Player player: Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.NOTE_PLING, 4.0F, player.getLocation().getPitch());
}
}else{
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Start!");
number--;
mytaskid2.cancel();
for(Player player: Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.EXPLODE, 4.0F, player.getLocation().getPitch());
}
 
}
}
}
}, 0L, 20L);
}

Simple countdown, which I use in my project.

 

How can I make a command perform that?

Code:java

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("countdown")){
                CountDown();
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

 

Sicka_gp In
publicvoid CountDown(){
it highlights void and the {

Also, how can I make it do 1 minute until start, then 30 seconds until start, then have 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.

There whould be a space between public and void.

 

There is a space thats a typo

 

Try doing this.

Code:java

public void CountDown() {

 

That doesn't help...

 

In his code, It doesnt have a space With this CountDown(){ In mine it does.

Just trying to help you even though Im not the most knowledgable at bukkit

WAIT, DO YOU HAVE @EVENTHANDLER OVER THE TOP?!

I tried it and It didn't do anything that's what I mean't.

 

I suggest you go look at some java tutorials online to get a better grip of the language. I could tell you how to code the countdown the way you want but I have a feeling that a lot of users use the plugin development section to simply learn java or have other people punch out code for them, which as I understand it is not this section's purpose. Your problem is not rooted in a specific Bukkit or Minecraft related issue you can't figure out but in your lack of java knowledge.

 

Where do I put @EventHandler
