Hi,
I have a problem following from my previous problem. I also have the code SwingUtillities.invokeAndWait somewhere else in the code base, but when I remove this the gui does not refresh. If I dont remove it the error I get is:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.Error: Cannot call invokeAndWait from the event dispatcher thread
 at java.awt.EventQueue.invokeAndWait(Unknown Source)
 at javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(Unknown Source)
 at game.player.humanplayer.model.HumanPlayer.act(HumanPlayer.java:69)
The code in HumanPlayer.act is:
public Action act(final Action[] availiableActions) {
  try {
   SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
     gui.update(availiableActions);
    }
   });
  }
  catch (InterruptedException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
  synchronized(performedAction){
   while(!hasPerformedAction()){
    try {
     performedAction.wait();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
    }
   }
   setPerformedAction(false); 
  }
  return getActionPerfomed();
 }
