Solved Bukkit Runnable

Hey Guys,

Maybe this is a little shame but I forget how to make a 1 second runnable or something like that.

 

This should help you.

Make a new instance of BukkitRunnable and call the method BukkitRunnable#runTaskLater(Plugin, long)

He was explicitly asking for BukkitRunnable from the title, not BukkitScheduler

 

Well a BukkitRunable just has to have a method in it named public void run() with an override attached. You said you wanted it to run every second so do something like this:

Code:java

Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(main, new BukkitRunnable() {
 
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Boob");
}
 
}, 0, 20);

That will make it so the plugin will run that runnable with no delay, and it will run every 20 ticks, which is 1 second.

That's a good tutorial.

The @Override is a Java Annotation. I was reading an article on Annotations, apparently, you don't actually need the @Override annotation. It's just a compile-time annotation that will give you a warning if the method does NOT actually override a super class method.

The run() method is probably a bad example since the name probably isn't going to change.

Take me for example. My plugins depends on BattleArena by Alkarinv (latest version 3.9.7.9). Let's say that I override HIS onFinish() method:

Code:java

@Override
public void onFinish() {
  // ...
}

Let's say Alkarinv changes the name of onFinish() to onDone() in the next version 3.9.8 ...Since I have the @Override annotation, I will get a compiler time warning that onFinish() does NOT override another method.

Just wanted to explain to people reading this thread WHY you used the @Override annotation on the run() method. (if anyone was curious).

Got It! Thanks to you all

Yes I am very much aware what the @Override annotation does, but considering he is asking a question that can easily be found in the Bukkit documentation, I was assuming that he did not want the big names to all the stuff, he just wanted to know how to do it.

Edit: Realized this came off as a bit hostile, my bad

No man, you don't seem hostile at all. I figured you did know. I just wanted to add further explanation as to WHY in case anyone was curious.
Me, I'm still pretty much a beginner... So I remember seeing some code with @Override and some code without it... and thinking to myself: "WTF ?"
