Put GlobalTable into Visual Tool

Hello everyone!

I am trying to build modules consisting of machines which build a group.
I am using the visualTool.
My question is: Is it possible to put a GlobalTable or Table into the VisualTool, which holds pieces of information for these machines? When dragging the VisualTool from my UserLibrary into a new model, information in the table will be available for the machines.

Thx for your help!

A global table can only exists at the same location all the time but a table (any table even a global one) is nothing more than a tree of nodes starting with a headnode and every node underneath is a row and every node underneath that is a column.

It is quite a good practice to create such a table in your label section of your object (in this case a visual tool). If you go to the label tab page and create a label and then click the label table button you can create your own table.

You can refer to that table with a label reference. For instance your head node of your table is called "MyTable" then you can do the following things:

treenode TheTable = label( current, "MyTable");

settablesize( TheTable, 10, 10);
gettablenum( TheTable, 1, 1);

etc...

Thanks a lot!

I'll give it a try.

Hi Steven!
