Return value from runTaskAsynchronously?

I've been reading and I believe and I need to use callable and futures but I don't think I can use Callable in runTaskAsynchronously. (I might be wrong). Is there any other async task that I can use? Or is there another way I could get value from a async task.

 

Not really sure what you want, but from I think you want BukkitRunnables. Look em up.

 

rippin You have :
- runTaskLater(...) which return a BukkitRunnable.
- scheduleSyncDelayedTask(...) which return the Task ID.

 

Well I kind of worded it weird. Here is a simplified example of what I'm trying to do.

Code:java

public int test(){
final int number = 0;
plugin.getServer().getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(plugin, new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
number = 5; //cannot assign value here
}
 
});
return number;
 
}
 

 

You could let your async task run a method when it is done, which takes the number as argument. To run that method sync again just call a sync task inside the async task.

Example:

Code:

public void test(){
  plugin.getServer().getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(plugin, new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
      // get number async:
      final int number = 5;
      plugin.getServer().getScheduler().runTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
          // continue sync:
          doSomething(number);
        }
      });
    }
  });
}
 
public void doSomething(int number) {
  System.out.println("Aaaaaand the nuuumber iiiiss..... " + number + " !");
}

 

blablubbabc Alright thanks I'll try it
