Timers

[Las Systos]

Hello Ragezone,

I'm having trouble with java/maplestory timers.
I'm trying to make something happen every 3 minutes.

Now I found this horrible horrible code, I was thinking this could be a lot easier:

TimerManager.getInstance().schedule(new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do stuff
    }
}, 180000);
TimerManager.getInstance().schedule(new Runnable() {


    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do stuff
    }
}, 360000);
TimerManager.getInstance().schedule(new Runnable() {


    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do stuff
    }
}, 520000);
TimerManager.getInstance().schedule(new Runnable() {


    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do stuff
    }
}, 680000);

... that goes on a while T_T

I tried doing this:

int nextTime = 180000;
TimerManager.getInstance().schedule(new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do stuff
        nextTime += 180000;
    }
}, nextTime);

but i get this error:
"local variables refferenced from an inner class must be final or effectively final"
at:
"nextTime += 180000;"

Any ideas?
I heard

thread.sleep(180000);

Isn't a good solution

use 'register' instead of 'schedule'
