Task Cancelling

I'm trying to cancel this task but for some reason it isn't working....

Main.php

PHP:

public function startMatch(Player $player, Player $opponent) {
        $this->getServer()->getScheduler()->scheduleRepeatingTask(new Tasks\StartMatch($this, $player, $opponent, $arena), 20);
    }


StartMatch.php

PHP:

public function __construct(Main $plugin, $player, $opponent, $arena) {
        parent::__construct($plugin);
        $this->plugin = $plugin;
        $this->player = $player;
        $this->opponent = $opponent;
        $this->arena = $arena;
    }

public function endMatch() {
        $this->plugin->getServer()->getScheduler()->cancelTask($this->getTaskId());
    }


All the variables are defined and the console doesn't show any errors, the task just continues....

Thanks for your help (in advance)!

I don't think the task id is being initialized at all.. (At least not from reading the source). What is the value you get from $this->getTaskId()?

What I do myself is when schedule, I get the id from the task handler.

I got it to broadcast the task ID to the server and it was -1

Anyone else have any ideas?

PHP:

public function startMatch(Player $player, Player $opponent) {
   $h = $this->getServer()->getScheduler()->scheduleRepeatingTask($t = new Tasks\StartMatch($this, $player, $opponent, $arena), 20);
   $t->setTaskId($h->getTaskId());
 }


Or something like that (I did not test this).

Did you figure it out? Im having the same problem.

+1

Undefined method setTaskId()

I solved it like this

PHP:

public function onRun($t){
if ($this->stopped === null){
//I make something here, e.g. counting how many times was task executed
$this->stopped = true;
}
}


Yes, this won't cancel the task, but it won't be executed

It will be laggy.

I need the task to cancel, the entire point of creating a task was so I can just delete the information after the task is finished and I can create a new one at any time.

The best way is to make one repeated task and accept new tasks to run.
