Adding a delay without Thread.sleep and a while loop doing nothing

问题

I need to add delay without using Thread.sleep() or a while loop doing nothing. The game im editing(Minecraft) clock runs on "Ticks" but they can fluctuate depending on your FPS.

public void onTick() {//Called every "Tick"
    if(variable){ //If my variable is true
            boolean = true; //Setting my boolean to true
            /**
            *Doing a bunch of things.
            **/
            //I need a delay for about one second here.
            boolean = false; //Setting my boolean to false;
    }
}

The reason why i need a delay is because if i dont have one the code runs too fast and misses it and does not toggle.

Something like the following should give you the delay you need without holding up the game thread:

private final long PERIOD = 1000L; // Adjust to suit timing
private long lastTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - PERIOD;

public void onTick() {//Called every "Tick"
    long thisTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

    if ((thisTime - lastTime) >= PERIOD) {
        lastTime = thisTime;

        if(variable) { //If my variable is true
            boolean = true; //Setting my boolean to true
            /**
            *Doing a bunch of things.
            **/
            //I need a delay for about one second here.
            boolean = false; //Setting my boolean to false;
        }
    }
}

回答2:

long start = new Date().getTime();
while(new Date().getTime() - start < 1000L){}

is the simplest solution I can think about.

Still, the heap might get polluted with a lot of unreferenced Date objects, which, depending on how often you get to create such a pseudo-delay, might increase the GC overhead.

At the end of the day, you have to know that this is no better solution in terms of processor usage, compared to the Thread.sleep() solution.
