Let an Object wait while the rest isnt waiting

I want to let my Object ( bullet ) wait everytime it moved. So when it moves x+1 it has to wait first before it goes again. I thought i can do this with Greenfoot.delay(1); but it doesnt work because it pauses the whole scenario, which i dont want to stop. Heres the code: 
public void bulletMove()
    {
        
        System.out.println("Moved!");
        while(bulletCheck() == false )
        {
            
           
            int xPos = getX();
            int yPos = getY();
            int rotation = getRotation();
            
            switch(rotation)
            {
                case 0:                 
                this.setLocation(xPos + 1, yPos); 
                Greenfoot.delay(1);                                         
                break;
                
                case 90:
                this.setLocation(xPos, yPos + 1);
                Greenfoot.delay(1);                  
                break;
                
                case 180: 
                this.setLocation(xPos - 1, yPos);
                Greenfoot.delay(1);   
                break;
                
                case 270:
                this.setLocation(xPos, yPos - 1);
                Greenfoot.delay(1);  
                break;
            }
               
           
        }
      
    
        if(bulletCheck() == true )
        {
                getWorld().removeObject(this);
                System.out.println(this + " Got removed!");
        }
        
     
        
        
}

Unless you are required to use a switch statement in your code, this method can be reduced to the following: 
public void bulletMove()
{
    System.out.println("Moved!");
    if (!bulletCheck())
    {
        move(1);
    }
    else
    {
        getWorld().removeObject(this);
        System.out.println(this + "Got removed!");
    }
}
To make it only process every other act cycle, you need to add a boolean instance field, change its value every act cycle and only process the code when the value is only either true or false. I change 'while' to 'if' because you do not want this code processing over and over again without other actors getting a chance to move at all. Either your actor will appear not to appear or your scenario will freeze because your code is executing an endless loop.
