Delay between messages read from list in config.

Hi, I am using the following code to read in a list and send a message for every line in the list.

Code:java

 
                for(String m : this.getConfig().getStringList("message")){
                    e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', m).replace("%player%", e.getPlayer().getName()));
                }

Problem is, it sais all the lines at once. I need to make a delay between each line so it has a credit or star wars words effect. String list? Arrays? Someone help! i am stuck. Mind F**k moment.

 

Code:

 
for(String m : this.getConfig().getStringList("message")){
                    e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', m).replace("%player%", e.getPlayer().getName()));
Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
 
public void run(){
}
},1*20);
                }

this will print every message with 1 second delay

 

This will print one line at a time with a delay or all the lines with a delay? i need one line at a time

 

pablo67340 a different suggestion:

Code:

final Player player = ...;
final List<String> messages = config.getStringList("path");
final int id = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSynchRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable()
{
    int i = 0;
 
    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        if (i < messages.size())
        {
            player.sendMessage(messages.get(i));
            i++;
        }
 
        else
        {
            Bukkit.getScheduler().cancleTask(id);
        }
    }
}, 0, 10);

 

Ill test. Thanks!

'ID' is red in Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(id);

Sais the variable has might not been initiated
