Retrieve Numeric value from Command

Hi, im trying to make a delayed task.

Heres an outlook on what I'm trying to do.

User does command (/ed-downtime x)
Plugin takes value x (which is seconds)
variable servertisk = X * 3 = (X*3) L (for the delayed task server ticks)
My question is how do I get value X using stringargs or any other method?

In the end the code for the delayed task should look something like this ;

myPlugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(myPlugin, new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//code
}
}, servertiskL);

 

Integer.parseInt(x);

 

But how do I parse the value from the command?

 

it's going to be in the args collection

 

So first I would have to get the string value of the cmd used by the user, then parse it
Integer.parseInt(x);
?

Can you give me the code I would need to use for the string args collection. (still a noob)

Would something like this work?
int x = Integer.parseInt( args[0])

is args[0] the right argument number to be using?
considering that the user does this /ed-downtime x

 

yes

Note that you might want to put a try - catch around it for incase the use puts something other then a number as the argument

int x;
try {
x = Integer.parseInt(args[O]);
} catch (Exception e) {
//incorrect
}
This correct?

 

yea thats right

 

Thanks! One last question how can I detect that string args even has a value?
