Hello, in the model attached i want to limitate the item.sez == 1 input at a max of 4 at the same time. another item of the same type can enter only if one of them exit. The processor can have a max of 9 items in process at the time. The other item.sez don't have a input max content rule. I'm trying to make work the processflow u see in the model but i'm missing something.
I don't know how you tried to implement this logic, but I would suggest to use a zone in the process flow. It can have both a general limit to how tokens can enter it, as well as subsets with additional contraints attached to them.
So the zone can limit the token count to 9 while also limiting the count of tokens where the sez equals 1 to 4.
Sorry, i can't update the model for a issue in the forum at the moment. i can link on dropbox
It looks like you copied the queues and processor from a different model since there are a lot of invalid references and missing labels.
I think I see what you tried to do with the process flow. However, there will never be any tokens because the source only creates tokens at time 0 and the quantity is set as the subnodes of the processor, which won't have any items in it when the model starts.
I added the solution I suggested above to the model and removed a lot of the invalid trigger functions so the model can run without errors. I also changed the setup and process times of the processor to highlight how the process flow works a bit better, hopefully.
