I've been doing:

entity.setStoppable( schedule.scheduleRepeating(entity) );

...which then allows me to do.....

        if( this.stoppable != null )
{
      this.stoppable.stop();
}

(you'll need to define stoppable and setStoppable() in your entity class)

I had a quick look at the Mason scheduler code, but couldn't figure out
whether this truly takes the entity off the schedule (and, hence,
whether its any more efficient than your current approach). I'll have
another look when I have time (if Sean doesn't provide a better answer
in the mean time, of course).


yours,
