Solved How to make a countdown Task with minutes?

I know that when I want to make countdown I should use task!

PHP:

$this->getScheduler()->scheduleRepeatingTask(new NameTask($this), 20);


and I know 20 mean 1 second so we will manage minutes to convert it to seconds.

* every minute has 60 seconds !

PHP:

// $i mean Minutes !
// $s mean Seconds !

if($i >= 0 && $s > 0){
    $s--;
}
if($s == 0 && $i > 0){
    $i--;
    $s = 59;
}

so I tried making this coding for converting 10 minutes to seconds counting down and every 60 second a minute gone

PHP:

<?php

class NameTask extends Task{

    public function __construct(Main $plugin){
        $this->plugin = $plugin;
        $this->miuntes = 10;
        $this->seconds = 0;
    }

    public function onRun($tick){
        $i = $this->miuntes;
        $s = $this->seconds;
        if($i >= 0 && $s > 0){
            $s--;
        }
        if($s == 0 && $i > 0){
            $i--;
            $s = 59;
        }
        $OnlinePlayer = $this->plugin->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers();
        foreach($OnlinePlayer as $player){
            if($s <= 59 && $s >= 10){
                $player->sendTip(TextFormat::GREEN . $i." : ".$s);
            }else{
                $player->sendTip(TextFormat::GREEN . $i." : 0".$s);
            }
        }
    }

    public function cancel() {
           $this->getHandler()->cancel();
    }
}

and I don't know what's wrong It moved just one second and stopped at " 9:59 "
I hope you understand what I want to do and what the issue !

 

By doing this:

PHP:

        $i = $this->miuntes;
        $s = $this->seconds;


you're making a copy of the variable, so instead of decrementing the class property, you just decrement a local variable (and then overwrite it with the unchanged class property on the next run).

One fix would be to replace $i with $this->miuntes and $s with $this->seconds.
Another way would be to use a reference instead:

PHP:

        $i = &$this->miuntes;
        $s = &$this->seconds;


although I don't think this is very good practise.

btw you misspelled minutes

 

I figured this out and I tried to think harder until I get it.
Because I made this questions and I solve the issue so look why it's stopped at " 9:59 "
Because the task repeat it self so I can't put a variable in it for second and miunte it will repeat the action the variable will take the number and the code will do it.
After I fix this problem I got new one the countdown missing number 0 in second before move to anther minutes
" 9:00 ", " 8:00 ", " 7:00 " ...
so I coded the countdown again and finally I got it like this:

PHP:

if($this->miuntes >= 0 && $this->seconds >= 0){
        $this->seconds--;
}
if($this->seconds < 0 && $this->minutes > 0){
        $this->miuntes--;
        $this->seconds = 59;
}

and the hole countdown coding goes like this:

PHP:

<?php

class NameTask extends Task{

    public function __construct(Main $plugin){
        $this->plugin = $plugin;
        $this->minutes= 10;
        $this->seconds = 0;
    }

    public function onRun($tick){
        if($this->minutes>= 0 && $this->seconds >= 0){
            $this->seconds--;
        }
        if($this->seconds < 0 && $this->minutes > 0){
            $this->minutes--;
            $this->seconds = 59;
        }
        $OnlinePlayer = $this->plugin->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers();
        foreach($OnlinePlayer as $player){
            if($s <= 59 && $s >= 10){
                $player->sendTip(TextFormat::GREEN . $this->minutes." : ".$this->seconds);
            }else{
                $player->sendTip(TextFormat::GREEN . $this->minutes." : 0".$this->seconds);
            }
        }
        if($this->minutes== 0 && $this->seconds == 0){
            $this->cancel();
        }
    }

    public function cancel() {
           $this->getHandler()->cancel();
    }
}

 

Thx a lot you helped with let me know how to let variable as reference I think this will do help me a lot!
I make a big progress, Thx a lot .

 

I'll check this out : )
