Plugin Not Working?

Okay, I'm trying to make a minigame where water rises from the ground, and you have dodge the water. It's not working, because final variables can't be changed. But it has to be final because the scheduler that makes it rise says it has to be a final. Here is the code for the part that doesn't work:

Code:java

public void startFlood() {
        final int start = 0;
        final World world = Bukkit.getPlayer("scarabcoder").getWorld();
        this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
 
 
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if(game = true){
                    setBlocks(world, new Location(world, locat1.getX(), start, locat1.getZ()), new Location(world, locat2.getX(), start, locat2.getZ()), Material.WATER);
                    start++;
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("HIGHER");
                }
 
            }
 
        }, 40, 40);
 
    }

 

scarabcoder Then initialize it in the Runnable.

 

Gater12 I'll try that, thanks.

 

you want repeat this task x times?
int task = 0;

Code:

task = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
 
            private int start = 0;
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if(game = true){
                    setBlocks(world, new Location(world, locat1.getX(), start, locat1.getZ()), new Location(world, locat2.getX(), start, locat2.getZ()), Material.WATER);
                    start++;
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("HIGHER");
                    if (start > X)
                          Bukkit.cancelTask(task);
                }
 
            }
 
        }, 40, 40).getTaskID();

 

Gater12 It doesn't work....
bfgbfggf Thanks, I'll try that.

bfgbfggf It's not working, it's giving me the error: Cannot invoke getTaskID() on the primitive type int.
And the 'task =' part is giving me the error: task cannot be resolved to a variable

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

so... just add it.
int task = ....
(one line is before [code ])

 

I tried that, same error
