Execution Timer

How can I make my plugin execute what I want it to every 5 Mins?

Make a subclass of PluginTask. In the onRun implementation, run the code you want. Make a new instance of it, pass it to the ServerScheduler->scheduleRepeatingTask function (get the ServerScheduler through Server->getScheduler()) with $ticks as 20 * 60 * 5 (20 ticks/s * 60 s/min * 5 min)

When I had this problem, this didn't help me until I got example. So here it is:

In Main script add

PHP:

//Task is name of PHP file where you can add another information. ($this, $something) supports more values, but at least $this.
$this->getServer()->getScheduler()->scheduleRepeatingTask(new Task($this, $something), 5*60*20);


In Task.php;

PHP:

<?php

 namespace MyFolder;

use pocketmine\scheduler\PluginTask;
//Task is name, also used before
class Task extends PluginTask{
 public $plugin;
 private $something;
//Don't forget to replace Main with name of first file
 public function __construct(Main $plugin, $something){
$this->something = $something;
parent::__construct($plugin);
}
public function onRun($t){

//Here, you can execute what you want
}

}

Extend PluginTask, not PluginBase >.<

Edited && Fixed. Don't forget I'm just practicing PocketMine API on that, so I don't look at small mistakes like extending PluginTask/Base (Netbeans should tell me that PluginTask isn't used and I should solve it)

Well, a good IDE like PHPStorm tells you that Task instead of Plugin is expected to be passed into the schedule*Task functions.

Yes, but little sad thing about PHPStorm is that it is paid. (199$)

Isn't it $99 USD?

Comodo IDE is best because it is free.

There are multiple ways that you can get it free.
