Holding tokens until Zone count drops below set value

I'm a very new user so I'll need answers spelled out.

I want to control the max number of machines that will run at any given time, but I still want all the other operator activities to happen for all machines. I created a zone around the part of the machine flow for processing and was hoping to use a "wait for event" to count how many machines are in the zone and hold tokens until the number of machines drops below whatever value I set, but I'm not sure if that works or how I would set up the wait parameters. It looks like this:

Any thoughts?

@Kevin S, it looks like the image is not coming through - at least for me. Will you try uploading it again?

I actually figured it out. I just have to set a limit to the number of tokens in the zone and that will keep the maximum number of machines running at the limit. Thanks though!
