Custom Code in Global List

Hi there,

I’ve encounter some problem when setting up the field of global list. I want to choose the expression and record which number of processor group the item is assigned to go to. That is, the item has the information label of group number. For this, I have set the destination label as current.inObjects[1].

The token received the label as:

item: /Processor8/Box

puller: id:31

And I also set a label on processor to denote the number of group as the picture below:

I came up with some idea of the custom code as below:

if (value.destination.group==1)

return 1;

elif (value.destination.group==2)

return 2;

elif (value.destination.group==3)

return 3;

elif (value.destination.group==4)

return 4;

else

return 0;

Since I’m new to Flexscript that I’m not sure if this kind of expression will work. Thanks for your help!

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.9

Please open the parchment roll icon to see, what declared variable exists in the scope of your expression field. Typically you have to reference as a starting point relatively the value you pushed to your list called “value”.

Further on it is a good practice to study what available syntax your programming language consists of. “elif” is not belonging to the namespace of Flexscript. Please look for writing logic in FlexSim‘s manual.

There is no "elif" in FlexScript. If group and return value are equal then you can return the label value directly. The "?" makes it so FlexSim will not throw an error if the label does not exist on the object but instead just return 0.

return value.destination.group?

elif can be replaced with "else if" in FlexScript.
