Activate/deactivate Components in Animations during Runtime

Hello all
I am trying to add some visually animated components to a TE as flow item and would like to de/activate them during a simulation run.
In fact, there will be male & female TE as flow items with each carrying either backbacks, trolleys, handbags, etc. or a combination of them. During runtime, the TE as flow items will get rid of them and will walk without - or a different combination. All that, I would like to define in run time.

So far, I have tried several paths: The one, that presently make most sense to me is adding the additional visuals as "components" in the "Animations and Components" tab. It would now be ideal, if I could de/activate the components individually in runtime by flexscript - similar to what I can do that by clicking on the "eye" symbol in the GUI.

Any hints, how I can access this parameter (or any other parameter with the same effect) of the "TE as flow item" by flexscript? Going through the Model tree did not lead to a success yet.

Thank you very much for your support

You can reference component objects using the node() command, and you can hide objects using the switch_hideshape() command:

treenode component = node("/ComponentName", drawsurrogate(object));
switch_hideshape(component, 1);

Attached is a model that shows how you can hide components of a task executer flowitem.

The FlexScript code that hides the components is in the OnEntry trigger of the Queue.

Perfect - thanks, works great. Exactly what I was looking for.
