Printing message to JTextPane with Thread. [Solved]

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

Hello, I’m creating a text based/graphic rpg game and I’m using the follow method to print to my JTextPane. My question is, is this the right way to do it? I feel like something is wrong because I’m creating a new Thread everytime. Thanks :slight_smile:

public void printMessage(final Game game, final String message, final int delay, final Color color)
		{
			Runnable run = new Runnable()
			{
				@Override
				public void run() 
				{
					long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
					boolean sent = false;

					while(!sent)
					{
						if(System.currentTimeMillis() > currentTime + (delay * 1000))
						{
							game.printMessage(message, color);
							sent = true;
						}
					}			
				}
			};
			Thread thread = new Thread(run);
			thread.start();
		}
