Publish custom event to nifty event bus

Troubleshooting gui
#1

Looking at the event docs it described many ways to subscribe to different types of events.
But now i want to regularly publish an event from another thread outside the game loop and have a nifty element listen to these events. Any way to do this?

#2

I think i might be able to use a second event bus as described here:

I just thought the one used in nifty would expose an interface for publishing custom events…

#3

You must use a synchronization mechanism. The best one I found is using the application.enqueue(Callable<>).

@SomeNiftySubscription    
public void hideEvent() {
    application.enqueue( new Callable<Void>(){
        public Void call() throws Exception {
            element.hide();
            return null;
        }
    }
}

Yeah, it doesn’t matter how many event buses you use if they are running on the wrong thread.

Best to use app.enqueue() as mentioned.
