Define maximum amount of items in a slot

I have a Floor Storage where the last bay can only be placed boxes at one height, in the penultima bay only boxes at two high, and in the rest at three high. How can I do this?

Hi @Omar Aguilera Rico I referenced Jordan's answer to this question. I created a label called MaxContent on the slots using paint slot labels. Then, in the Slot Assignment Strategy I changed one line of code.

The mustHaveSpace is a variable that's already set to 1. The second part of the if statement checks if the current slot content is greater than or equal to the MaxContent label. If it's greater, it will continue on in the loop until it finds something with space.

Individual Slot Max Content.fsm

@Eric M May I ask where do I find the created paint slot label in your model? Thank you. I tried to look it up in the Model Tree, could not find it.

Hi @Cass Z,

First click on Paint Slot Labels in the library.

Then the properties will have a Label section. Changing this to "MaxContent" will allow you to see the assigned label values for each slot.
