Solved Reapeting Task won't cancel if two are running!

Hi,
When I run this task I want to cancel it, which I can do but I don't know how to cancel it when two exist at once seems bukkit gets confused and leaves one running!

Code:java

              this.fireTrail = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this.plugin ,
                        new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {
                                fireworkDarkMagic(egg);
                            }
                        }, 0, 1);

How would I cancel this task if it is running multiple times?

 

store all instances in list.

How would I do this?

 

Archgames
Put the ID in a Collection

 

xTrollxDudex
Can I have some code examples?

 

Archgames

PHP:

List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();

// ...
list.add(this.fireTrail);

// ...
Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(list.get(/* ... */));

 

xTrollxDudex
How do I know which task to cancel in the

Code:java

.cancelTask(list.get(/*what do I put here?*/));

 

Archgames
Actually, let's store a ref with it.

PHP:

Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();

// ...
map.put(1, fireTrail);
map.put(2, /* another */);

//...
Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(map.get(1)):
Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(map.get(2)):

The problem is I only want to cancel one task not multiple

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void shootStaff(PlayerInteractEvent e){
final Player player = e.getPlayer();
int speed = 3;
final Vector direction = player.getEyeLocation().getDirection()
.multiply(speed);
if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
if(player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.DIAMOND_HOE){
final Egg egg = player.getEyeLocation().getWorld().spawn(player.getEyeLocation(), Egg.class);
egg.setVelocity(direction);
egg.setShooter(player);
this.taskID = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this ,
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
fireworkDarkMagic(egg);
}
}, 0, 1);
fireTrail.add(this.taskID);
}
}
}
@EventHandler
public void eggCollide(ProjectileHitEvent e){
final Projectile proj = e.getEntity();
if (proj instanceof Egg) {
Egg egg = (Egg) proj;
final Location eggLoc = egg.getLocation();
Player player = (Player) egg.getShooter();
player.getWorld().playSound(eggLoc, Sound.FIREWORK_LARGE_BLAST, 1, 1);
Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(fireTrail.get(1));
egg.getWorld().createExplosion(egg.getLocation(), 4);
}
}

Multiples of this one task will be running at the same time and I need to cancel it in the eggcollide event but if two are running at the same time the fireworks particle system will not be stopped on impact!

You don't need to cancel both. I was implying how you can store the ID of the runnable with a counter so you can refer back to it and cancel the task.

 

xTrollxDudex
Been working at this for quite a while and still am stumped how can cancel a task if two of the task are running at the same time?

 

Archgames
Again, get it from the HashMap using your counter.

 

If anyone can help I still need help!
Thanks!

 

Archgames As xTrollxDudex suggested, try storing them in a HashMap. However, a better idea may be to store the name of the task. Then, you can retrieve it using that name:

Code:

HashMap<String, Integer> taskIds = new HashMap<String, Integer>();

When you want to add a task (lovingly named myTask):

Code:

taskIds.put("myTask", Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this.plugin, new Runnable () { ... }));

And then to cancel the task:

Code:

Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(taskIds.get("myTask"));
