Run scheduled events outside of main class

I'm trying to make a countdown timer but it is outside of the main class.

My main class is called Main, and the class I am trying to schedule from is Game.

Code for Main class:

Code:java

this.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
                int i = 3;
                if(i > 0){
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("" + i);
                    i--;
                }else{
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("GO!");
                }
            }
        }, 0L, 20L);

I'm not sure what I have to replace the "this" terms with.

The first one I know to change to Bukkit but what should I change the second one to?

Thanks and excuse my stupidity I'm sure this is something really simple.

 

Just make the class yourself:

Code:java

public class YourClass implements Runnable {
 
    public void run() {...}
 
}

Code:java

plugin.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new YourClass());

In eclipse it says "plugin cannot be resolved". Do I need to declare "plugin" as something first?

 

plugin would be the instance of your main class

Code:java

//Top of class
public static NAME_OF_MAIN_CLASS instance;
 
//In onEnable
public void onEnable() {
  instance = this;
}
 
//Then later just do
NAME_OF_MAIN_CLASS.instance.getServer().getScheduler().WHATEVER

This has been recommended so many times, that every link here is a post of me explaining that this is a bad idea.

 

It worked for me
