Easiest way to make repeating/delayed tasks?

what is the easiest way to make a delayed or repeating task?

 

bobnixon1 A BukkitRunnable.

 

leimekiller Code Example?

 

Code:

new BukkitRunnable()
{
  public void run()
  {
    // do your stuff here
  }
 
}.runTaskLater(plugin, delay in ticks);

That will delay your code, if you want to repeat it, replace the last line with:

Code:

}.runTaskTimer(plugin, delay, interval between repeats (in ticks));

And you can cancel it from within itself too, eg, if you want to repeat something 10 times:

Code:

new BukkitRunnable()
{
  int count = 10;
  public void run()
  {
    // do your stuff here
 
    count--;
    if (count == 0) cancel();
  }
 
}.runTaskLater(plugin, delay in ticks);

 

where do I place that?

Wherever you want to use it. I should point out that you should not call any Bukkit API asynchronously.
