Hello, please help me with your grand knowledge. Thank you.

I am looking to establish a command where the GM entering "!event open" will result in the following messages appearing within a certain interval,

GM hosting asdf event.
You have 90 seconds to join
You have 75 seconds to join
You have 50 seconds to join
You have 40 seconds to join
You have x seconds to join
Event portal has closed.

Basically, each message will only appear after "x" amount of seconds have passed between the messages. I already understand how to broadcast the messages worldwide and so on, but the problem I am having is how to make it so that it will appear in the proper intervals without freezing/lagging the gm who used it and so forth. All my attempts have made it appear instantly all at once or lags the player because of an infinite loop. How do I go about this?

Thank you for reading.

Thread.sleep. Make sure to run it on a different thread rather than the server thread so it won't make it stuck.

How would I avoid using it on the server Thread? I'm familiar with what Thread.sleep does but unsure how to avoid it getting stuck.

I'd like to spend the time testing but i'll be at work for another 8 hours.

Use a timer instead of thread sleep

If it's an event, make it a world timer
