Match a number with a "wait for event" with a global table

Hi Everyone,

I have a simple model with a source, one transport from one point to other and then go back to the start point.

I would like to stop the transit of the cars because maintenance in the some controls points. For this I used a variable (Model 1) which works very good and stop the transit when the variable is one (1 = active maintenance)

But I need to use tables because I would like to create a loop and I just want to use a token as a pivot to change the number of row.

In the model number 2 I replaced the variable for a global table:

And then the model don't want to continue to work.

I need a solution like (Wait until for a condition) but linked to a Global table ( probably I have to create one loop in a custom code that ask each minute if the condition is matched

If someone can help me with this issue, I would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.2.1

Hi @Javier Lg,

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. You can upload your models or other files by appending ".jpg" to the filename. Files ending in .jpg are not effected by the bug. You can also upload your model and other files to FlexSim's file share site. Include the file name in your question so that we know which upload to reference.

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.

You can either set the table cell to contain a tracked variable, so you can listen to its OnChange event.

Or you can listen to the change by proxy, by reacting to the event that changes the value; the token entering the respective Custom Code activity further down in your process flow.
