Default How to change the speed of a conveyor?

Hi

How I can change the speed of a conveyor with C + + or a trigger?

I need to change the speed of one or more conveyors while the program is running.

You can just use the command changeconveyorspeed.

changeconveyorspeed(obj conveyor, num newspeed )

Description: Changes the speed of the conveyor to newspeed.
Example: changeconveyorspeed(current, 4);
This example changes the conveyor's speed to 4.

Hello,

is it valid to use the changeconveyorspeed command on a mergesort?.. on flexsim 5 i'm getting exception errors on the console, and on flexsim 4.52 don't, but i get weird behavior (flowitems will dissapear or move on the air away from the conveyor)...

regards

Pablo Concha E.

It looks like there's currently an issue with using changeconveyorspeed on the mergesorter in both versions.

I don't think the mergesort was ever designed to be able to change speed.
