Wait Long Amounts of Time

Hey, I just need some help on something. I am making this plugin where you need to run a command after an hour of time.

Basically 1 hour in, I just do code.

How would I wait for that hour?

Thanks

 

Schedulers:

Code:

new BukkitRunnable() {

public void run() {
//code
}

}.runTaskLater(plugin, 72000);

72000 because 20 ticks = 1 second, * 60 = 1 minute, * 60 = 1 hour

 

Is there a more efficient way?

 

Depends on what you want. A cooldown to just check if 1 hour has passed or run code after 1 hour.
It also depends on how many of these you start. If they're more than ~20 then it would be better to use a global repeating task, checking every of the saved times at once per run.

 

@blok601
@FisheyLP 's way will work fine.. But if you insist on a different way, you can always use a Map<String, Long> and use the system#CurrentMillis method and compare the times.

 

@FisheyLP

I just want to run a command after 1 hour. It will be about 5 of them (The time increases by 5 mins for each one). So I don't think it would lag that much.

@N00BHUN73R I think I will try Fishey's method.

Thanks, ill reply with results.
