Execute Task Later

Hello!

I'd like to allow a user to create "temporary permissions" where they can add a permission to a player for a set amount of times. I know I can do this using ticks, but my concern is performance. Will the plugin lag a server?

Also, how would I go about doing this?

Thanks for your help.

 

Adding temporary permissions to a player is fairly simple:

Code:

player.addAttachment(Plugin plugin, String node, boolean value, int ticks);

From my understanding this isn't too taxing on the server.

Hi, I don't see that method in the Bukkit Docs. Could you point it out? Thanks.

It's actually a method for the Permissible interface, which the Player class is a subinterface of.

Do you mind giving me an example of how this method would be used?

 

Sure, assuming "plugin" is a direct reference to your plugin's main class and you wish to set the node "plugin.node" to true for 10 seconds:

Code:

player.addAttachment(plugin, "plugin.node", true, 200);

How you get player depends on what method you intend to you (event listener, command, etc).
