Stop conveyor on loading
Here's my (seemingly simple) problem: I have an elevator that feeds cylinders to a conveyor. I've set the unload time to ~16, reflecting a process by which these cylinders "roll" off the elevator and onto the conveyor.
What I want is for the conveyor to stop during this loading process. Then, when the cylinder is on the conveyor, it can start up again. Any thoughts? |

In between the elevator and the conveyor, you can put a processor with a process time of ~16, which will represent the delay of unloading the elevator. Add an OnEntry trigger, and write your own code. stopobject(outobject(current,1), STATE_IDLE, 2); which will stop the conveyor, and add an OnProcessFinish, resume the conveyor with resumeobject(outobject(current,1), 2);

Problem fixed
Very cool. I camouflaged the appearance of the processor so that it still looks like the cylinders are just rolling off the elevator onto the conveyor.
Thanks Tyson. |
