Hey,

I want to run a method every second and use something like the bukkit scheduler for this.

I tried it with the ServerTickEvent but nothing happens with it:

int tick = 0;
@SubscribeEvent
public void scheduler(ServerTickEvent e){
	if(tick != 20){
		tick++;
		return;
	}
	tick = 0;
	//do stuff

Also tried with @EventHandler (idk the difference^^)

 

Hope for a good reply

 

Did you register an instance of your event handler class with the appropriate event bus? I suggest reading a tutorial on Forge event handlers, e.g. this one.

 

@SubscribeEvent

is for subscribing to events that extend

net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.Event

(e.g.

ServerTickEvent

,

LivingUpdateEvent

) and are posted to an

EventBus

.

 

@Mod.EventHandler

is for handling FML lifecycle events that extend

net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLEvent

(e.g.

FMLPreInitializationEvent

,

FMLServerStartingEvent

), this only works in your

@Mod

class (hence it being a nested type of

@Mod

). See the doc comment of the annotation for more details.

The method is in my main class and e.g the LivingAttackEvent also works there.

So it should work without the event bus registration?

Which version of Minecraft are you using? In future, include that in your title.

 

In 1.8 and earlier,

ServerTickEvent

is fired on the FML bus (

FMLCommonHandler#bus

) rather than the Forge bus (

MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS

). In 1.8.9 and later, the Forge and FML buses have been merged.

 

Your event handler will only be called if you register it with the right event bus.

 

Every

TickEvent

subclass (including

ServerTickEvent

) is fired twice per tick of its system (server, world, player, etc.): Once at the start with

Phase.START

and once at the end with

Phase.END

. Make sure you check the event's

Phase

so your code only runs once per tick.

Oh sorry, I'm using 1.7.10.

 

So what exactly do I need to do to get that working?

 

Thanks a lot guys

(Still don't get why the other events worked without registration^^)
