sleep on the onStart() while the gui is alive.

 

or

 

add a if statement (gui isnt visible) within the onLoop()

 

Preference I guess. You shouldn't really be dependent on whether the GUI is visible or not to sleep though.

i might just use a while loop to sleep while the gui is active 

Or make a State/Node(Whatever you us) for it inside of the onLoop, so you don't need to use a sleep at all.

 

State example:

private State getState(){
     if(gui.isVisible()){
          return State.GUI;
     }
     else if(!gui.isVisible()){
          else if(!myPlayer.isUnderAttack()){
               return State.ATTACK;
          }
     }
}

Node:

@Override
private boolean validate(){
     return !ScriptClass.gui.isVisible();
}
@Override
private void validate(){
     return true;
}

(All code is untested and written outside a IDE, it's just for a example)

 

By not using a sleep method, allows you to record things such as paths, etc. I've used it in a few projects, though I must admit I still use sleeps as well, just adding input!

I personally prefer avoiding sleep but like Swizz said, mainly preference

Use this:

 

sleep on the onStart() while the gui is alive.

Thank you guy, I already found out what i was goign to do.  Within the gui class create a boolean. Add a event handler on the start button, which inverts the boolean. On the onStart() add a sleep until that gui.boolean become false.
