How to get the "loadtime" value of TaskExecuter by using code?

Hi, all.
In my projects, I want to get the "loadtime" value of TaskExecuter, the loadtime is on the TE's attribute tree, and here is my code:

int loadtime = getnodenum(node("/BasicTE1>variables/loadtime/1",model()));

BasicTE1 is name of object in my model.
The aboving code returns 0, but I have set the value of "loadtime" of BasicTE1 to 120 (for example). That is to say, I cann't get the correct value of "loadtime" by using the aboving code.

How to do that?

Thanks in advance.

treenode item=<an item>;    //loadtime expects an item to be passed in
treenode station=<anobject>;  // loadtime expects a station 
treenode te=node("/BasicTE1",model());  // if you can assume it's located in the model - if it travels on networks within a hierarchy you cannot assume this.
double loadtime = nodefunction(getvarnode(te,"loadtime"),item,station);

Thanks Jason, I appreciate your advice. It is exactly what I am looking for!
But I have another question, I don't catch the meaning of the two parameters, i.e. 'item' and 'station' in your code.
I have checked the Flexsim Command Documentation and found the following words about nodefunction, "Any parameters that need to be passed to the function are passed as par1, par2, etc."
In my opinion, the loadtime is an inherent attribute of TaskExecuter, so I don't need to pass any parameters to the function.

The last question, can I use the similar code to get other variables of TE, such as maxspeed and maxcontent?

Think for maxspeed and maxcontent it would be possible to use getvarnum() because both are variables that are setted as numbers.

Frans,

In my opinion, the loadtime is an inherent attribute of TaskExecuter, so I don't need to pass any parameters to the function.

Yes... when Flexsim executes the code, but by using nodefunction you are executing the code yourself, it will not give you the result of a previous execution. So you need to pass item and station references into the nodefunction command IF your loadtime code uses them to determine the return value.
