Equivalent of Thread.sleep() that won't upset minecraft.


Recommended Posts

Posted

I need to wait a certain number of milliseconds between executing parts of my mob AI, I would obviously use multithreading or just simply Thread.sleep() in my own program, but will that throw minecraft off? Or is there a method minecraft uses to wait a certain amount of time when executing its code?

You need to approach your problem from a different direction.

 

onUpdate is called once every 1/20th of a second.  If you need to wait 1 second you need to....

 

Let onUpdate get called 20 times.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Thanks guys. I'll just increment a variable each tick using the onUpdate() method and check that in the AI.
