Change Visual: Gowning

Hi,

I want to change the visual of my operator like what is stated in this post before: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/115720/put-patient-gowns-on-patients-after-changing.html

I want the operator to wear a gown without creating a gender label since it doesn't matter if they are male or female, and the gown would look the same for both.

How can I find the index number in the Change Visual activity?

gowning_operator.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.2

change visual index operator gown

First of all, the default operator shapes don't have the option to wear a gown. You need to have an operator using the Female Person/Staff or Male Person/Staff shape.

Second, it does matter which of those two shapes the operator is using because the gown is on a different index for each one. It's index 10 for the male shape and index 8 for the female shape.

But you don't have to add a gender label. You could set the index to be this one line of code:

shape(person).value.includes("Male") ? 10 : 8

So if the operator's shape is the male shape it uses index 10, otherwise it uses index 8.

Thanks @Matthew Gillespie

It works, I just wonder since it looks more like a dress on an operator, is there anyway to do the same thing but with scrubs?

Yes, Scrubs is just one up from the gown. So index 9 for the male shape and index 7 for the female shape.
