Close Input Port based off Processor Label

Hi all,

I'm trying to close input ports of two processors when the label associated with the processor reaches 0. I've tried several OnMessage triggers using the label, but have been unsuccessful so far. I would like this to be done within the 3D model not Process Flow as well. How would I do this? A sample version of what I'm trying to do is attached.

Thanks in advance!

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.0.3

input port

@Mason W You have on reset label "CartonQtyl" and in entry label "CartonQty". Idk if you meant to have 2 different spellings. To get this to work, move the logic from "On Message" to "On Process Finish". This way the condition can be evaluated after the item is done processing. I'm not sure why the "On Message" doesn't work. 12260-sample-2.fsm
