Dynamic Scripting itemtype

Hi,

We are creating a dynamic model through flexsim script, have automatically created source, Queue, Dispatcher, Racks and Transporter and connected all of them together as per our least requirement and our model is working fine.

Currently source is generating item with out item type as per default setting of source with the default arrival rate.

We want to setitemtype and setcolor of items exiting source through script, manually it could have been achieved by writing setitemtype and setcolor script in onexit trigger of the source.

This script we are writing on GUI button section, when you press it, everything will be done automatically.

I have gone through command section but could not find how to do it using flexsim script.

Basically itemtype and color script should be automatically written in designated source trigger on exit section and same for interarrival time.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Take the following steps:

Get a pointer to the exittrigger node (using getvarnode)
Fill the node with your code (using setnodestr)
If the node is not already a flexscript node, toggle it (using switch_flexscript)
Build the node (using buildnodeflexscript)

Good luck!

Another way could be to put the values into labels and just have static code read the label values. Then you just set label numbers in your code/GUI or even coldlink to them.
Also, if you want to set values in a scenario or via optquest it'll probably be better to have a numeric node you can point to.

Thanks Steven and Jason, we are trying your suggestion.
