C++ Game Logic UI synchronization with threads

I am writing a game in C++ using EnTT (ECS framework)

My game is designed in simple concepts like Logic UI and Game which controls this two.

So I have struct like this

struct Game {     // The logic     Logic logic;       // Ui     Ui ui;  }  

I am using delegates to fire events from one concept to another for example.

struct Logic {     void doSomeCalculations(){        ...        elementSpawned(someElement);        ...     }  }  

And in Game part I implement this

struct Game {  ...        void onElementSpawned(someElement){      }  }  

Now let's say spawning element does some animation.

So I need to stop the logic for a while do the animation and then continue, because Logic can go too far with calculations why UI is animating./

So I need to implement something like this

void onElementSpawned(someElement) {       logic.wait();     ui.doAnimation(someElement);     logic.resume();  }  

How can I achieve this?
