Change Empirical Distribution via Parameter Option for PF Create Object

Piggy backing off Q&A: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/95419/how-to-change-the-empirical-distribution-in-experi.html
Per @Logan Gold request

I am trying to do something similar, instead of changing a source I am changing Create Object quantity in process flow.

I managed to get the first part right (I think) which is setting each option to their respective distributions. However I don't know how to set up the Process Flow Create Object task to reference the Option Parameter correctly.

Option Parameter with the 3 options for the 3 Emp Dist's:

Create Object referencing the Optioned Parameter, but not sure how to assign the arguments?

Thanks

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.1.2

In your model parameter it's set up to pass the first parameter into the getstream() command to get a unique stream number for the object calling the distribution.

So you just need to pass "activity" in as the first parameter when you use that model parameter.

Thanks!

To clarify do I need to add "activity" to each of the 3 arguments, or just the first?
ie.

Just the first.

You're only currently using the first one, so putting something in the 2nd or 3rd won't do anything.
