Tracking Time? [Resolved]

I was wondering what the best way is to go about setting the time to 23000 when the time is over 13000.
I am going to set my server up to have 3 days and 2 nights that people have to then survive. Any help is appreciated.
Mainly I want to know if I need to use an event listener, and I want to know which one even when no one is online.

 

You could use a Timer and schedule it for every 50 milliseconds. Inside of the TimerTask's run method, make a check

Code:

if(getServer().getWorld("world").getTime() >	13000)
     getServer().getWorld("world").setTime(23000);

Once I get back to my computer I'll post any other code it you need it.

 

Than

Thanks for the reply, but what kind of event can I listen for in order to check time frequently like every 50 ticks?

 

I would use a scheduler, and not listen to anything.

Thanks Stud I will look into it.
Do we know of any source code I can look at for this?
Maybe a lottery plugin source?

 

Well if you don't want to use a Scheduler (which you should), you just make a timer like this:

Code:Java

 
Timer t;
TimeCheckTimer tim;
public void onEnable(){
    t = new Timer();
    tim = new TimeCheckTimer();
    t.schedule(tim, 50, 50);
}
 
public void onDisable(){
    if(t != null)
        t.cancel(); // Make sure this is here to stop the thread
}
 
public class TimeCheckTimer extends TimerTask {
    public void run(){
        if(getServer().getWorld("world").getTime() > 13000)
            getServer().getWorld("world").setTime(23000);
    }
 

 

Thanks guys I got it working!

Code:java

 
public class Basic extends JavaPlugin{
    @Override
        public void onEnable(){
            Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, new TimeTrack(), 0, 200L);
        }
    @Override
        public void onDisable(){
        }
}
 

Code:java

 
class TimeTrack implements Runnable {
    public void run() {
        long time = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("dev").getTime();
        if( time > 13000 && time < 23000 ) { //World name is dev, 13000 is the time Sun sets
            Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("dev").setTime(23000);// 23000 is the time Sun Rises
        }
    }
}
 

My Final Code:

Code:java

 
public class 3Days2Nights extends JavaPlugin{
  @Override
  public void onEnable(){
    Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, new TimeTrack(), 0, 100L);
  }
  @Override
    public void onDisable(){
  }
}
 

Code:java

 
class TimeTrack implements Runnable {
  int dayCount = 1;
  public void run() {
    long time = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("dev").getTime();
    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(""+dayCount);
    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(""+time);
    switch (dayCount){
      case 1: //Day 1
        if( time > 23000 && time < 24000 ) {
          Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "The First Day");
          dayCount ++;
        }
      break;
      case 2: //Day 2
        if( time > 12000 && time < 23000 ) {
          Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("dev").setTime(23900);
          Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Hump Day");
          dayCount ++;
        }
      break;
      case 3: //Day 3
        if( time > 12000 && time < 23900 ) {
          Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("dev").setTime(23900);
          Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD+ "The Last Day");
          dayCount ++;
        }
      break;
      case 4: //Day 4
        if(time > 14000 && time < 23900) {
          Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "The First Night");
          dayCount ++;
        }
      break;
      case 5: //Day 5
        if( time > 20000) {
          Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("dev").setTime(14000);
          Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "The Final Night");
          dayCount = 1;
        }
      break;
    }
  }
}

Good job, glad you got it working

 

I am adding different difficulties for each dayCount Now
First Day: Peaceful
Hump Day: Easy
Final Day: Easy
First Night: Normal
Final Night: Hard

I love learning this stuff!
