Setting Custom State which is not in the list?

Hi Team,

I am trying to set the AGV in the custom state "Charging" which is not available in the list. I am using custom code directly as below:

But my code is not making any impact.

What is the quickest way to do it?

FlexSim 23.1.0
customagv state

You are probably missing a Breathe (0s delay) between the latest task and the activity that sets the state.

Note that using this method places 'Charging' as state 23 to which the STATE_FULL macro already refers. This is fine for a small model that you control completely but it should be documented that this has been repurposed. In a larger, collaborative model or library it might be better to avoid this method and use your own stateprofile where you define all the states, or write to the developers to suggest that new states are added after ALL the predefined ones (so 51 and on).

Hi @Felix Möhlmann,

I just checked it is setting the state, but it is not shown in bar chart as other preexisting states are shown.

Whether I am missing anything?

Thank you!

Check which state table it's using and edit that to show your state. If that doesn't fix it post your model so we can see what you're doing.

Hi @Jason Lightfoot,

It is showing "Accumulating" state in chart instead of charging.
