How to set the travel destination depending by the Processor label?

Hi FlexSim team,

How can I set the Operator travel destination depending by a Parameter.
For example this model that I upload, I want that if the Parameter is 3, then travel to the Processor that has the label "Processor" with a value of "3"

1. Travel to a Processor depending by Parameter.fsm

Thank you

Hello Luis Fernando,

First, If you are using an unload command you do not need a travel command (unless you use something like networknodes.

Now, to select several posible destinations you can use the option Object by case and then you have to set up the case funcion as the parameter and then three cases by pressing the green cross and then with the sampler, for each case you select the processor with the sampler.

Here is the modified model.

You could also add the processors to a group and set a 'destination' label on the token using this expression:

Group("Processors")[Model.parameters["Processor to use"].evaluate()]

Try to use pointers in your model wherever you can so that you don't have to go back and find all the object references by string if/when you edit the names.
