Problem on Itemtype id

I am now trying the gate part, in my test, I hope different type of containers, like Empty/Laden/No container on trucks can have different inception time when they go through the gate house, so I try to assign different container type with a itemtype id. However, I don't know how to set the container id. When a truck is generated by the gate planner, all container id is 0, but the box generated by a source can have different id. Does anyone know how to set id to the container on trucks that generated by the gate planner? Many thanks.

In a trigger on a Gate object, you can reference the truck using "item".

You can use the content(item) command to determine whether the truck has a chassis and/or a container.

If the truck doesn't have a chassis, content(item) will be 0.
If the truck has a chassis and no container, content(item) will be 1.
If the truck has a chassis and a container, content(item) will be 2.

If the truck has a container, you can get the container type (This has a special meaning in CT) using this command:

getcontainerstat(getcontainerid(rank(item,2)),CONTAINER_STAT_TYPE)

The number returned is the row number in the Container Types table.

Hello, I am now trying another way to simulate the gatehouse inception process. I setup a model; use the source to generate a box with type 1 to 4. In this model, I hope different types of box will have different distributions in the processor. But I don’t know how to set it in the processor. Many thanks for advice.

Use the "Cases by Value" pick option for the Process Time and type the distributions into each case.
