repeating task

Hi, i need to use a repeating task in another class:
This class is "my own API" so i need to get it from other classes to....

Here´s the code im using right now:

Code:java

 public static void BarOfficial(final Player player){
plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(//HERE, new Runnable(){
 
@Override
public void run() {
Random random = new Random();
List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add(ChatColor.GREEN + "Enjoy the fight");
list.add(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Just another random Message!");
String message = (String) list.get(random.nextInt(list.size()));
BarAPI.setMessage(player, message);
}
 
}, 0, 1 * 20);
}

It said i cant use "this".... and what can I use instead?.....

 

Use the plugin instance. Get it from Bukkit's PluginManager

 

Can you explain little more?

You mean this:

Code:java

    Main main;
    public <the class>(Main plugin) {
        this.main = plugin;
    }

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Code:java

private Plugin p;
 
//Method
public Plugin getPlugin(){
    return p;
}

You mean like this because a scheduler takes a plugin.

 

i need help with this aswell

 

what should I put here?

Code:java

plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(HERE, new Runnable(){

 

Well is this;

Code:java

plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(HERE, new Runnable(){

Inside the class that extends JavaPlugin?

 

Yes, but.... in the code where it says "Here" what should I write instead?

 

If it's the main class (the JavaPlugin extending one) you should insert 'this' otherwise you should insert an instance of the main class.
