What should be the return value for Wait for an Event custom FlexScript Code?

I have written a flexscript code to wait if the queue length is betweel 0 and 2. If that's true I return 1?

Is returning 1 the eight way to do it?

if(model.find("Queue1").subnodes.length >=0 && model.find("Queue1").subnodes.length <2){
    return 1;
}

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

That doesn't help because initial queue length is 0. So, it will always wait. I would prefer using a code for something like this, could you help me with what should the code return?

Then you have not checked the box "Fire If Initial Value Meets Rule".

I tried checking that. So that works in the first run but it sorta blocks the process flow. Need to check what that is. But let's say, if I do wanna use flexScript I would like to what what can it return? It might come in handy
