Get Variable Shared Asset Value in Code

For a Process Flow Variable, I can get its value using getprocessflowvar(processFlow, "pfVar")

But I'm struggling with getting a Variable shared asset's current value using flexscript.

Some of what I've tried...

getvarnum(processFlow, "MyVar")

Model.find("MyVar").value

getstat(getactivity(processFlow, "MyVar"), "Content", STAT_CURRENT)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

processflow flexscript variable flexsim 21.1.5

Variant value = processFlow.find("MyVar>variables/variableRef").evaluate();

I don't know if this is the "proper" way to access it (probably not), but it should work.

Unfortunately that just returns the Variable's 'initial' value as set in the 'Variable or Value' property. It does not return the Variables current value.

You're right. I only tested it when the variable was set to reference an object's stats, sorry for that.

Try this instead:

Variant value = getsdtvalue(processFlow.find("MyVar>stats/instances/ProcessFlow"), "currentValue");

I appreciate the help. However, that's still not working for me. I'm also getting errors with your attached model...
