Use the attached model. Let's assume I have more objects 3 and 4. The model has a task sequence or built-in dispatcher (built-in, assume it was a default setup from a special library, let's say I have inherited from a former programmer). Can I incorporate the current task sequence (or the dispatcher) with the process flow to make the following route (I don't want to change the reset code, more user-friendly simulation)? TaskExecuter1 go to object1,2,3,4. 1,2 task sequence, 3,4 process flow.
Hi @Osama A6,
It's hard to know how to help without looking at your model. To receive a more accurate solution, please post your model or a sample model that demonstrates your question.
Proprietary models can be posted as a private question visible only to FlexSim U.S. support staff. You can also contact your local FlexSim distributor for phone or email help.
Let's assume that you have the attached model, where you have no idea about it, and you want to override the tasksequence without messing with the dipatcher. You want to incorporate process flow with it. just-travel_no_idea.fsm
@Osama A6 , you said “use the attach model”. I found none, can you attach it? Thanks!

Yes you can control an existing logic from Process Flow. A tasksequence execution is tree node bound. You can alter any tree node data. For example you can change order of sub tree nodes, you can change tasktype. you can replace not begun tasksequences.
I would collect data from an existing model in lists and decide then how to manipulate the current control mechanism that it acts like I want it. I take away the possibility to decide on multiple available tasksequences and insert only necessary tasksequences.
What Jorg is referring to here is the tasksequence node in the tree under the object's "activetasksequence" or "tasksequencequeue" nodes. Under each is a node representing the task sequence. When you create Process Flow tasks they are insterted as a pair of tasks in the task sequence - one to do the task and the other to callback to the process flow when it is completed. So what Jorg is describing is adding the process flow tasks and then positioning them where you want in the tree by moving the pair of tasks to the positions you want. To do this generically may not be trivial since you either need to assume the structure of the task sequence to which you're adding tasks, or read the list of tasks to see what it's doing.
You can see how to change task attributes and rank here.
