Interval Update every 10 min.

Hi

I wanna post something on a sign. But the informating changes every 10 Min. This means i need to auto update this every 10 Min.

My quesstion is now:
How could i do this. I thought about a interval or something else.
Any other idea?

 

Use a Scheduler

 

Thx

 

also don't forget you need to update the chunk to update the sign. Something along the lines of (i think).

block.getWorld().refreshChunk(block.getChunk().getX(), block.getChunk().getZ());

 

wouldnt that just cuase unneeded stress on the server? edocsyl just do a repeating aSync on the specific sign. Maybe give each sign a title and track it.

PHP:

                Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable(){
                    public void run(){
                  String title = sign.getLine(0);
                  if(title.equals("<signtitle>")){
                  sign.update();
                        }
                    }}, 20L, 72800L);//every minecraft week. you can set any time :P

 

Ah, yes you have a point, got the code from one of my plugins that happen to update the chunk and also sign text. Didn't look at the rest of the code with sign.updates in ! well spotted.

 

Where am I going to past this part?

Code:

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        log.info("[Test] has been enabled.");
        
          Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable(){
              public void run(){
                  Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Test");
              }
          }, 20L, 200L);
    }

This is wrong.

Code:

Actually it is not.
Can you next time look what the error is and think about it? " 'plugin' cannot be null" doesn't mean it's wrong.

 

edocsyl replace plugin with this?basically its the pluginClass and you can give him the Plugin Object with that

 

blargh Thx. It works! Just copied and don't think -.-

Code:

         Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
              public void run(){
                  World world = Bukkit.getWorld("test_mc");
                  Block block = world.getBlockAt(40, 75, 32);
                  if (block.getType() == Material.SIGN || block.getType() == Material.SIGN_POST){
                      Sign sign = (Sign) block.getState();
                          sign.setLine(0, "Current time:");
                          sign.setLine(1, getTime()); 
                  }      
              }
          }, 20L, 30L);

This is just a simple test to look how it updates, but well it doesn't.
When i start the server, it update after not.
Any idea why?
