Scheduled Tasks

In many cases, you want logic to run after 1 second (or n seconds), instead of running immediately.

That is where scheduled tasks are useful.

The scheduler is the scheduleInTicks method on the server object.

It is simple to call. If you have a server object, use it like this:

Utils.server.scheduleInTicks(20 * 5, () => {
    Utils.server.tell("hello -- scheduled task triggered")
})

This sends a server message after 5 seconds.

This example uses Utils.server directly. If you can access server from an event, use the event-provided value. If not, using Utils.server is an alternative.
