I suppose you catch the event from the GUI object you animate?

Oh true I misread. In that case I suppose I could always catch the event in a separate weapon from the one being destroyed.

Edit: Works, albeit this is slightly complicated when there's a chance the GUI can quickly be recreated, and its creation is also animated.
Which means I have:

Class within Weapon about to be destroyed -

PHP Code:

temp.gui.destroying = true;
SomeSystemWeapon.scheduleDestroyGUI(temp.gui); 


Weapon -

PHP Code:

public function scheduleDestroyGUI(temp.gui){
  thiso.catchevent(temp.gui.name, "onAnimationFinished", "destroyGUI");
}

function destroyGUI(temp.gui){
  if(temp.gui.destroying){
    this.ignoreevent(temp.gui.name, "onAnimationFinished");
    temp.gui.destroy();
  }
} 


Whereas using the scheduleevent method it would be:

Class within Weapon about to be destroyed -

PHP Code:

SomeSystemWeapon.scheduleDestroyGUI(temp.gui, temp.time); 


PHP Code:

public function scheduleDestroyGUI(temp.gui, temp.time){
  thiso.scheduleEvent(temp.time, "DestroyGUI", temp.gui);
}

function onDestroyGUI(temp.gui){
  if(temp.gui != NULL){
    temp.gui.destroy();
  }
} 


It works fine for me either way, I just thought a built-in variable to handle it would make things easier.
