wait(); or thread.sleep();

hello i want to ask if it is possible to use wait(); or thread.sleep(); for a event but as example pickupevent. Not to delay to pickup a item onyl to delay the functions in the event is it possible if its so than tell me pls thanks.

 

You can better never use that, sleeping the main thread will freeze the entire server.

You can however use BukkitRunnables to delay tasks, find more about it here: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Scheduler_Programming

xmarinusx is right.
But next time xmarinusx please exit your original post, and not make another if its in a row

 

can you help me to use sheduler i never use it before.

Code:java

      @EventHandler
        public void take(PlayerPickupItemEvent e, Player p) throws IOException, InterruptedException{
 
 
          final PlayerPickupItemEvent finalEvent = e;
                    Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(pl, new Runnable() {
                      public void run() {
 
                      File lol = new File("plugins/SaveSlots/Players/", finalEvent.getPlayer().getUniqueId() + ".yml");
                      FileConfiguration lol2 = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(lol);
 
                          if(lol2.getBoolean("Slot1.inuse", true)) {
                              lol2.set("Slot1.Items", finalEvent.getPlayer().getInventory().getContents());
                              lol2.set("Slot1.Armor", finalEvent.getPlayer().getInventory().getArmorContents());
                              try {
                            lol2.save(lol);
                        } catch (IOException e1) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e1.printStackTrace();
                        }
                              }
                              else if(lol2.getBoolean("Slot2.inuse", true)) {
                              lol2.set("Slot2.Items", finalEvent.getPlayer().getInventory().getContents());
                              lol2.set("Slot2.Armor", finalEvent.getPlayer().getInventory().getArmorContents());
                              try {
                            lol2.save(lol);
                        } catch (IOException e1) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e1.printStackTrace();
                        }
                              }
                              else if(lol2.getBoolean("Slot3.inuse", true)) {
                                  lol2.set("Slot3.Items", finalEvent.getPlayer().getInventory().getContents());
                                  lol2.set("Slot3.Armor", finalEvent.getPlayer().getInventory().getArmorContents());
                                  try {
                                lol2.save(lol);
                            } catch (IOException e1) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                e1.printStackTrace();
                            }
 
                              }
                    }
                    }
 
                      , 2*20L);
 
 
 
}

this is not working.

 

Just use the function runTaskLater.
Then, please rename your variables, to describe their function.

 

not working either.

 

Reoss please elaborate

 

For future reference, wait() is used in synchronization; it's primary purpose is for multithreading. If used correctly, the current thread pauses and waits for whatever you called wait() on to have it's notify() method called. It's a bit more advanced and I suggest you don't read up on it until you feel your plugin needs to use multiple threads.


tl;dr wait() probably doesn't do what want to do currently.

 

private Plugin p;

Code:java

Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().runTaskLater(p, new Runnable()

i get a error in this line.

 

Reoss And what does that error say?

 

NullPointerException

 

Reoss Does "p" have any value?

 

its from import org.bukkit.plugin.Plugin;

 

thats a type. Not a value.

 

I never said its a type or value but Private Plugin P; is bound to import org.bukkit.plugin.Plugin;

 

Reoss Please learn the basics of Java - you don't really understand the terminology we're using and therefore cannot really been helped. You never assign a value for p. And you told us about the import because you had no idea what you were doing

 

i never used scheduler before. And i tested some other ways.

 

Reoss
Assigning a value to a variable has nothing todo whether you used a scheduler before or not. It's the very basic's of java. Like said above please go learn java has you have no idea of the terminology being used here.

 

Drew1080 Damn that bug in your signature...also, I agree with you.

 

aha you know i testes other ways before and this way was only one from them i like to say "Expérience passe science."
also i testet some other ways but this way is only one from 100 examples.

 

Reoss I don't understand your point.

 

ehm sry my english is not the best.
ehm ok i have this problem since yesterday and of course i testes more methods to fix it but no one works you know? and what i post here was my last option. becouse eclipse automatic error fix do it automatic so i testet it.

 

Well we can't help you with basic Java. You need to stop what you are doing, and go learn some Java first because you have little idea about what you are doing.

 

im 100% sure what im doing i want to save the items and armor to a .yml file and the yml file is names the uuid ffrom the player if the player pickup a item.

 

Reoss Knowing what you want to do and knowing how to do it are two completely different things. It doesn't seem like you know how to assign a value to a variable, which should be obvious otherwise you definitely do not have enough knowledge to make plugins.

 

i already complete the plugin only this is missing

 

Saying "learn java" and not even providing any type of help for the person to actually learn it is on par with sitting there and pouting. At least point them in the right direction.

Reoss

You should try to gain a better understanding of things like classes and instances first:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/classvars.html
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/reflect/member/ctorInstance.html

If you want, from there you can start the tutorial from the beginning (which I recommend):
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/

It starts very basic but gets into more raw material fast.

 

1Rogue
maybe they dont know it how to fix it and thanks for the tutorials i will take a look
The First usefull answer !!

 

1Rogue There's a point at which they clearly either have never tried learning for themselves or something has clearly gone horribly wrong that giving direction wouldn't be all that helpful. Not knowing how to assign a variable a value, or what even constitutes a value, is one of these times.

 

Not knowing something constitutes at the very least linking them to a tutorial (preferrably oracle's). Or at the very least show them how to find it. This is used very much as a support forum, if you don't feel like offering anything useful to a topic, why bother posting? There are situations where I have certainly felt that way, so I don't post in them.
