Hey, I'm currently writing a progressive script that I want to do 3-4 different kinds of tasks, such as digging salts, woodcutting, firemaking, all in one script.

 

Currently it's digging salts, and it's working pretty good, but I'm wondering if their is a way to detect how long the script has ran, and make it change up the tasks after x amount of time.

 

thanks for reading, ;)

Store the start time on the script,

 

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

Then you can use it to see how much time has passed.

long timeElapsed = System.curretTimeMillis() - startTime;

The value will be in milliseconds however you can convert it to seconds by dividing by 1000 or convert it further.

Thanks for the reply man, i'll test it now Will keep you updated on the progress and how it went

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

	long timeElapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime / (1000 * 60) % 60;
		

Update, How do I use the int, aka 40, is 40 minutes.

if (timeElapsed == 10) {

?

 

edit: figured it out, thanks

I mentioned it above, it is in milliseconds so 5 * 1000 * 60 = 5 minutes.

 

timeElapsed / 1000 = Seconds since start.

timeElapsed / 1000 / 60 = Minutes passed and so on..
