checking for an event during an event

[infinity]

i implemented the timer

so there are two conditions for this process
1) while the user hasn't switched it off with the button
2) while the process occurs under a certain amount of times(set by the user prior to clicking on the button)

the timer works fine with the first condition, but there is no way to control the second condition(since you can only make it start and stop)

and i'm going to try this with the button, so forget key binding


so yeah, i'm going to manually thread it then

You could implement a counter that stops the timer after the specified number of firings. Something like

int counter = 0;
int limit;

public void actionPerformed() {
    counter++;
    if (counter >= limit) {
        timer.stop();
    }
    // blah
}

nevermind, i'm an idiot
