Tasks Crashing The Server?

I am Making a MiniGame Plugin and the Countdown is crashing the server?
Code :

Code:java

    public void startCountDown(){
        gamestate = TagGameState.COUNTDOWN;
        countdown = 60;
        while(countdown >= 0){
            Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable(){
 
                @Override
                public void run() {
                      broadcastCount(countdown);   
                      countdown--;       
                      if(countdown == 0){
                          startGame();
                          gamestate = TagGameState.GAME;
                      }
                }
 
            }, 20);
 
        }
    }

 

I had the same with a previous plugin I was trying to make work which I eventually gave up on. I remember the problem being with a while loop. Something about stopping the stream of the server or something.

I'll probably try a for loop then

 

You're scheduling a load of tasks inside your while loop.
In addition, your schedulers will constantly start the game

I only want to schedule one task a second and No, They will not constantly start the game.

 

You don't want to schedule one task a second, it can all be done in a single task.

 

Iaccidentally try a repeating task and cancel it when the game starts.

 

I'm not the one asking about it, I know how lol.

 

Code:java

int count
BukkitTask task = runtasktimer(plugin, runnable{
    if (count == 0) {
        startGame()
        return
    }
    print "Countdown: " + count
    count--
}, 1 second, 1 second)
 
startGame(){
    task.cancel()
}
