Here’s an excerpt from our code, note that this is all in a while loop to continually check if the button is bring pressed:

if (Controller1.ButtonL1.pressing()) {
      ArmMotor.spin(forward, 100, pct);
}

Additionally, if you want to run the rest of your program simultaneously, you could try threading like so:

if (StackBumper.pressing() == true && StackerRunning == false) {
        thread(stackfunction).detach();
}

sure! Here’s an example of that.

RightMotor.rotateFor(cmdistance(10), rotationUnits::rev);

This is a blocking command as it stands, so if you want the rest of your code to run before this finishes you need to thread it through a function or add the boolean param
