Help with Code Snippet

Hello all,

I need your knowledge for resolving this (if possible).

I have the following code for creating 4 different FlowItems from a single Source but I need to set a different "label and colour" for each. E.g: label="box" & colour="red" for box FlowItem; label="cylinder" & colour="blue" for cylinder FlowItem and so on.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.1.2

set label code snippet multiple flow items

@Jose_antonio Ie

If you would first set a label with the duniform(1,4) code. Then use that label to set the different flow item types like you have done in your code. In the next step you can find, under the "Visual" option of the oncreation trigger, the option "Set color by case" If you select that option and use the label you set in the beginning again you can give each flow item type a different color. Then you can either change the code and in each case statement also set the label or use the same option again to set a unique label. I've attached a model.

There is 1 thing I want to warn you for and that is that you set the itemclass on creation, but this means that the next flowitem that is created will have this new class type and not the one currently being created!
