Fire an event after a specific number of server ticks?

I am looking for a way to fire an event after a specific amount of server ticks have occured. The event is simple, write to a text file. Its part of a much larger idea I have.

 

1. What is the best way to so?

2. Is forge sandboxed in such a way that would prevent me from writing to a raw text file while the game is running? Not a config I am talking about an actual text file on the system.

Hi

 

If you're running a tick event anyway (ServerTickEvent - have you used Forge (FML) events before?) I would just add a counter.

 

eg

 

tickEvent(ServerTickEvent event)
{
  tickCount++;

  int ticksElapsedSinceTrigger = tickCount - triggerTickCount;
  if (ticksElapsedSinceTrigger >= EVENT_DELAY) {
    // write ye texte file
  }
}

 

I have successfully written text files to the minecraft game directory and saves directory.  Don't know if you can escape outside those.  Probably yes, I imagine.

I have not used ticks before. I thought this might be an easy way to implement something simple.

 

Don't I need to subscribe to a Forge Event Handler or something?

After thinking on my idea a little more I realized it would be a very bad idea to fire as a tick on the server. The idea is to make a "mod" (if you can call it that really) that writes to a text file every (user configurable) half hour. Its a proof concept I have for a small server watcher tool. So this topic was not the right direction for me to go. Still helpful though thanks.
