Hi , Sorry for that mess . I use tab and space when I typed the code
into the Google window and at the end it displayed like that . My
problem is how to pause the elevator when it reachs a chosen floor
(picked by pressing one button on the button panel). My idea is to
use another Pause( contains another timer ) class to do this . When
the current floor is the destination floor , I use this code segment


Your code was still not compilable and I don't have the time to play
with it. I still think you should try a different approach rather than
all the timers. Animation can be tricky to get working well. I wrote
you an example of how I think you should approach your problem. Adding
pauses for door opening/closing should be just a matter of adding some
new states to the Direction enum and some more logic code to the run()
method and paint the doors.

Note: I used the European convention for the floors. The first floor
above the ground floor is 1.
