Testing an Act Method

Is there anyway to test an act method for a certain number of turns. My actor does something every 100 turns and it would really convenient if I could set the counter in the test method or something similar.
 public void act()
    {
        counter++;
        if (counter == 40)
        {
            counter = 0;
            move();
        }
    }
Here is my act set up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think what you are asking is for a why to use the current counter for multiple tasks. Like this: 
public void act()
{
    counter++;
    if (counter%100 == 0)
    {
        // do something (like you said)
    }
    if (counter%40 == 0)
    {
        move();
    }
    if (counter == 200)
    {
        counter = 0;
    }
}
We can reset the counter when it reaches 200 because it is a multiple of both 40 and 100.

I'm actually looking more for a way to set the counter in a test class. 
public void testActCounter()
    {
        counter = 120;
        ((ThrowerAnt)ant).act();

    }
This doesn't seem to work however.

You should then either have it as a parameter in the constructor method or you can have a setter method in ThrowerAnt which you'll then need a way to access it.
