How can I change the visual of a source by FlexScript?

Does anybody have an idea how I can change the visual of an event triggered source in the Processflow when I'm using FlexScript to enable/ disable it? To fill the checkbox I used these expressions and they worked properly:

setvarnum(Model.find("Tools/ProcessFlow/ProcessFlow/Source"), "enabled", 0);

setvarnum(Model.find("Tools/ProcessFlow/ProcessFlow/Source"), "enabled", 1);

But even if the source is enabled, the event triggered source is crossed out:

Thank you in advance!

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.2

Hi @fiona.k, The icon on my source does not change when I enable/disable the node. Can you post an example model of what you are seeing?

Hi @benjamin.w2, that's exactly the problem. I attached an example model. example.fsm

To get the icon to update you need to call the "updateIcon" function on the activity as well.

treenode source = Model.find("Tools/ProcessFlow/ProcessFlow/Source");
setvarnum(source, "enabled", checked);
function_s(source, "updateIcon");

Hello @Fang J,

When I place a "Breathe" activity (Delay activity with a delay value of 0) between the custom code and create object activities it works great. Here is a post that gives some explanation for "Breathe" activities.
