Solved Delaying Code

Hello everyone,

I'm glad you made the time to read my thread. I am currently at a dilemma right now. I am currently trying to make a delay system so I won't have to rely on BukkitRunnables. I was told from a Bukkit coding tutorial on cooldowns that they aren't the most efficient and to use System.currentTimeMillis() instead.

My question is as follows, is this code that I printed below an efficient cooldown method? I haven't got the time to test it in minecraft due to personal issues, however I've tested it in my IDE console and it works fine. Although it works fine, however, I want to make sure I am using the most efficient and optimized solution for cooldowns so I can have a smooth server experience.

Thank you for your time.

Code:java

 
for (int i = 5; i > 0;){
    if (!getInstance().inSamePlace(player, x, y, z))return false; // ignore this.
        while (time - System.currentTimeMillis() < 0) {
            time = System.currentTimeMillis() + 1000;
            i--;
    }
}
 

 

@timtower Alright I'll stick with what I'm good at. Thanks for the advice.
