Class PerpetualCommand

java.lang.Object

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj2.command.CommandBase

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj2.command.PerpetualCommand

All Implemented Interfaces:

Command

public class PerpetualCommand
extends CommandBase

A command that runs another command in perpetuity, ignoring that command's end conditions. While this class does not extend CommandGroupBase, it is still considered a CommandGroup, as it allows one to compose another command within it; the command instances that are passed to it cannot be added to any other groups, or scheduled individually.

As a rule, CommandGroups require the union of the requirements of their component commands.
