what does subnodes.length refers to in processor or sink?

I understand the subnodes.length expression refers to the content in queues. But if I use the same expression to refer contents in processor or sinks it doesn't work the same. Please help.

Model attached is just a sample piece to make my question more understandable. The sample doesn't represent the actual scope of the model or what I am trying to do. In this, I am trying to send the items from queues to the processor, based on its current content. Please check decide activity in the sample, that relates to my question. sample.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.1.1

flexscript dot syntax

sample.fsm (27.7 KiB)

You have a space between the equal signs in the comparison in the Decide. Change

model().find("Processor1").subnodes.length = = 0

to

model().find("Processor1").subnodes.length == 0

Then your model works fine.

Also, a Sink will never have content because it destorys flowitems that enter it, so sink.subnodes.length will always be 0.
