Solved Send messages after delayed time

Hello Everyone,

I am making a plugin called tutorializer. Basically what it does is that when you join for the first time it sends you messages. I know how to send them, but I want to send several but with a delay between them. If you know how to do this please help. Thanks!
My Code:

Code:java

package me.pieman.tutorializer;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerChatEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Events extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
    private Main plugin;
 
    public Events(Main plugin){
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
 
    public int delay = getConfig().getInt("msg.delay");
 
    public ArrayList<String> map = new ArrayList<String>();
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
        if(e.getPlayer().hasPlayedBefore()) return;
        final Player p = e.getPlayer();
        map.add(p.getName());
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + getConfig().getString("msg.start"));
        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
                p.sendMessage();
                if(getConfig().getStringList("msg").isEmpty()){
                    plugin.getServer().getScheduler().cancelTasks(plugin);
                    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + getConfig().getString("msg.end"));
                }
            }
        }, 0, this.delay * 20);
    }
 
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerChat(PlayerChatEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if(map.contains(p.getName())){
            e.getRecipients().remove(p);
        }
    }
}
 

Config File:

Code:

### Configuration File for Tutorializer
 
msg:
### Set the message when a player starts the tutorial here.
  start: You are now going to take the server tutorial!
### Set the message when a player ends the tutorial here.
  end: Have fun on the server!
### Set the delay between each message in seconds here.
  delay: 5
### Set the messages you want to say here
  - Hello

Example
This is an example of a plugin which registers a listener and when a player joins, schedules a task to be run 20 ticks later.
http://wiki.bukkit.org/Scheduler_Programming

Code:java

 
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.scheduler.BukkitRunnable;
import org.bukkit.scheduler.BukkitTask;
 
public final class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        new ExampleListener(this);
    }
}
 
class ExampleListener implements Listener {
 
    private final ExamplePlugin plugin;
 
    public ExampleListener(ExamplePlugin plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
        plugin.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, plugin);
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        BukkitTask task = new ExampleTask(this.plugin).runTaskLater(this.plugin, 20);
    }
 
}

If that's what you're looking for.

Well that is kind of what I want. I want it to send a series of messages with a delay between each of them. And you can modify the messages in the config.

Anyone know how to send a list of messages each having a delay between them?

Use a Bukkit Scheduler
