something wrong in pick list about" Pick Operator with Animation"

in the attach simple model , use setup operator for both setup and process,because not the case PICK_OPERATOR_PROCESS ,so operator will be utilize.so i think the pick list " Pick Operator with Animation" have something wrong.

why flexsim develop do not answer me this question?do i have some thing wrong?

If you have "Use Setup Operator for Both Setup and Process" checked then you don't get a call back to the processdispatcher at the end of setup, even though you returned -1.

Looks like this is a pick option that shouldn't be available with the same operator option checked, or checksopfree shouldn't consider the usesameop variable, which could allow the same operator to have the two animation tasks that the picklist creates.

I think this is bug. because the code use the varible ("usesameop") several times.

if(getvarnum(current,"usesameop"))
{
freeoperators(operator, item);
return -1;
}
theAnim = processAnim;
}

treenode ts = createemptytasksequence(operator,0,0);

stopobject(current, STATE_WAITING_FOR_OPERATOR);
inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_TRAVEL,current,NULL);
inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STOPREQUESTFINISH, current);
inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STARTANIMATION, NULL, NULL, theAnim);
inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_UTILIZE,item, current);
inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STOPANIMATION, NULL, NULL, theAnim);
if(getvarnum(current,"usesameop"))
{
inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STARTANIMATION, NULL, NULL, processAnim);
inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_UTILIZE,item, current);
inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STOPANIMATION, NULL, NULL, processAnim);
}

Certainly the way the picklist is configured won't work with the way checksopfree is coded. Which one is the 'bug' is for the development team to decide.

Sorry this is long overdue. The Processor is functioning properly, the issue was in the picklist code. The picklist has been updated to the following code. There is one note when using the same operator(s) for Setup and Processing, in order to get both animations to start, you need to call freeoperators in the OnSetupFinish trigger of the processor, otherwise only the initial animation will play. Attached is a working model.

/***popup:OperWithAnimation*/
/**Pick Operator with Animation*/
treenode operator = /** \nDispatcher: *//***tag:oper*//**/centerobject(current, 1)/**/;
int useSameOp = getvarnum(current, "usesameop") && getvarnum(current, "usesetupoperators");
switch (trigger) {
	case PICK_OPERATOR_SETUP:
	case PICK_OPERATOR_PROCESS: {
		int theAnim = /**\nSetup Animation Rank: *//***tag:animrank*//**/4/**/;
		int processAnim = /**\nProcess Animation Rank: *//***tag:processanimrank*//**/5/**/;
		double priority = getvarnum(current, "processoperatorpriority"); // read the Priority value on the GUI
		int preempting = getvarnum(current, "preemptprocessoperators"); // read the Preemption mode on the GUI
		double numSetupOperators = getvarnum(current, "nrofsetupoperators");
		double numProcessOperators = getvarnum(current, "nrofprocessoperators");
		double numOperators = numSetupOperators;
		if (trigger == PICK_OPERATOR_PROCESS) {
			if (!useSameOp)
				numOperators = numProcessOperators;
			theAnim = processAnim;
		}
		for (int i = 1; i <= numOperators; i++) { 
			stopobject(current, STATE_WAITING_FOR_OPERATOR);
			treenode ts = createemptytasksequence(operator,priority,preempting);
			inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_TRAVEL, current, NULL);
			inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STOPREQUESTFINISH, current);
			inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STARTANIMATION, NULL, NULL, theAnim);
			inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_UTILIZE, item, current);
			inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STOPANIMATION, NULL, NULL, theAnim);
			if (useSameOp) {
				inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STARTANIMATION, NULL, NULL, processAnim);
				inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_UTILIZE, item, current);
				inserttask(ts,TASKTYPE_STOPANIMATION, NULL, NULL, processAnim);
			}
			dispatchtasksequence(ts);
		}
		return -1;  // -1 means tell the processor that I am creating my own task sequence
					// and will free the operators myself, causing this code to be fired again
	}
	case PICK_OPERATOR_PROCESS_RELEASE:
	case PICK_OPERATOR_SETUP_RELEASE: {
		if (useSameOp)
			freeoperators(operator, item);
		freeoperators(operator, item);
	}
}
