Longer sendTIP

How do I send tip longer than 10 seconds?

I believe the only way is to repeat it.

thanks for the ideas! but I need code xD

PHP:

public function onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent $event){
        $player = $event->getPlayer();
        $player->sendTIP("§l§eWelcome to §bPro§dxim§eity§7 - §eKitPvP!\n§eHave fun! , " . $player->getName());
    }

You'll need a scheduleRepeatingTask.

I am not aware of how to repeat certain task... Maybe have a look at:
TimeCommander
ColourMatch
BasicHUD

Basichud use TICK

Look into Broadcaster's source code...

Not 100% sure how the RepeatingTask works, but you may be able to do a certain task when the variable $tick equals to certain amount, which can make a longer tip.
In theory:
When $tick is 1, send a tip
When $tick is 3, send a tip
etc

Oh yeah, just noticed it is in Plugin Development.
I bet there will be like tons of thread that are similar to your request, so try searching.
(10 replies in 8 minutes WTF?!)

I am, but search tools suck. so yeah.... couldnt find similiar one

Found a couple that contains the code to create a repeatingtask.

Trial and error is the best way to learn in my opinion.

Only start the RepeatingTask on PlayerJoinEvent and run it every 10 ticks (if I'm not wrong, 10 ticks = 1 second), you'll need to define a variable $sec as 10 (seconds), and on your task, onRun($tick) do $sec = $sec - 1;
When $sec != 0, send the tip, then stop the task. (I'm not in my PC, I can't send examples rn)

OK, now I'm in my pc.

Your Task file should be:

PHP:

<?php

namespace example\Example;

use pocketmine\Player;
use pocketmine\scheduler\PluginTask;

class PopupTask extends PluginTask{
    public function __construct(Main $plugin, Player $player){
        $this->plugin = $plugin;
        $this->player = $player;
        parent::__construct($plugin);
    }
    public function getPlugin(){   # < - You can use also $this->plugin
        return $this->plugin;
    }
    public function onRun($tick){
        $this->sec -= 1;   # -= 1 is like = $sec - 1
        if($this->getPlugin()->sec == 1){
            foreach($this->getPlugin()->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers() as $player){
                $player->sendTip("Welcome " . $player->getName());
            }
        }
    }
}

Don't forget to add

PHP:

public $sec = 10; # The amount of seconds.
public function OnPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent $event){
$this->getServer()->getScheduler()->scheduleRepeatingTask(new PopupTask($this), 10);
}


to your Main class.

Aweosme!

20 ticks = 1 second

You can create it on the same file, just with different classes. I think this should work.

PHP:

<?php
namespace whatever_name\tip;
use pocketmine\Player;
use pocketmine\event\player\PlayerJoinEvent;
use pocketmine\plugin\PluginBase;
use pocketmine\plugin\PluginTask;
class Main extends PluginBase
{
    public $tasks = [];
    public $secs = 10;
    public function onEnable()
    {
        $this->getServer()->getPluginManager()->registerEvents($this, $this);
    }
    public function onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent $e)
    {
        $this->tasks[$e->getPlayer()->getName()] = $this->getServer()->getScheduler()->scheduleRepeatingTask(new TipTask($this, $e->getPlayer()), 20*$this->secs);
    }
}
class TipTask extends PluginTask
{
    private $main;
    private $player;
    public function __construct(Main $plug, Player $p)
    {
        $this->main = $plug;
        $this->player = $p;
        parent::__construct($plug);
    }
    public function onRun($currentTick)
    {
        $this->main->secs--;
        while($this->main->secs > 0)
        {
            $this->player->sendMessage("hi, noob");
        }
        if($this->main->secs === 0)
        {
            $this->main->getServer()->getScheduler()->cancelTask($this->main->tasks[$this->player->getName()]->getTaskId());
        }
    }
}

Write the sendTip multiple times
